Sheeeeeeeee-attered...!!!

Busy day today, seemed to have got LOADS done which is great.

Had a much needed lie in. Mucked stables out and generally faffed around sweeping beds back. Got Squirt in. Poo picked his field, poo picked T-Jay's field, sorted T-Jay's water out.

Then we took Squirt and Orange for a tootle up the sheep fields. My God are they steep and we went up the flatter ones!!! Orange met cows for the first time which led to meerkat impression again but he was very good and kept a lid on it all (they were in the field the other side of the public right of way so we weren't in the middle of them or anything).

Then gave Squirt his weekly bath in Malaseb. That stuff is magic, really seems to be helping the itching problem.

Then Orange's owner and I rode T-Jay. Wore stabby things so today we had plenty of forwards and not so much in the brakes department. But he was fun.

One tired but happy pony, two tired but pleased riders :)

Then mum called to say her saddle is coming tomorrow yeyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy so she did a really really sensible thing .....

Squirt is 5 years old. He hasn't been ridden for 6 months. He has never been ridden bareback. So what does mum do? Get on him bareback. Bless him, he was golden. Never put a foot wrong. Then Orange's owner also had a go on him and did a bit of trotting so at least now when he's trying his saddle out, it won't be the first time in 6 months he's been ridden.

Can't wait for said saddle to come.

Just off to OH now to do girlfriend duties :) Lots of visiting planned tomorrow whoooo :)

Oh and meal last night was lurvely. I had Hot cajun chicken sizzler and then for pud, vanilla and white choc sundae yum yum yum
