Just what I needed

A pony morning :)

Got T-Jay in, cleared his field of poo then groomed him and equissaged him all over. He absolutely adored it, head on the floor, eyes half closed, droopy bottom lip, the whole works. Then he tried to do what friend's pony does ... reverse into you for a bum scratch but kinda pinned me up the wall.

Not good with a 17h IDxTB! Wriggled out and he tried another 3 times, not to squash me as such but just to get me to equissage a particular bit on his bum, lol.

Decided against riding as I was there on my own and one way or another I'd have to lean over to do gates and what not. It's Saturday tomorrow, there will be plenty of people around so I played it safe - although with the squishing not sure that I did make the right call LOL

Apparently, according to T-Jay I then spoiled it as I put his new fly mask on and chucked him out. It has ears. And a nose net. So hopefully he'll not get bitten to pieces any more. But he wasn't happy witht he nose net. Oh well.

Next was Squirt. He and his gang by this time were FURIOUS they weren't in. Their field really is bare now so think we're going to have to have a move around :(

Got Squirt in without too many problems, even though it did involve pushing a certain spotty pony back in. But all hell broke loose when I got spotty pony in - D barged his way out and went careering round. Shut spot in, grabbed D, shoved him in and then was expecting Min to go legging it off. Decided on headcollar rather than chifney in case he got away from me with the chifney on but he was golden, just jogged by my side bless him!

Cleared their field of poo then groomed Squirt and equissaged him. He has a sore bit on his chest again so gradually built it up around that area. Didn't enjoy it quite as much as he usually does but think that's cos he was hungry.

Both of them are so different, it's really interesting with the equissage. T-Jay has it on the fastest setting from the off and very very rarely objects to it going anywhere. The only place he's gone "oi" about was once on his thigh, turned it down and built it up and it was fine. Squirt's a funny onion. Sometimes you can start off on a high setting and he adores it, like the video on facebook but other times, like today, he can get a bit worried and I have to start on a low setting and build it up.

Think Squirt finds it harder than T-Jay but then T-Jay is older, fitter and more althetic anyway than Squirt so not rocket science I guess.

Have given it friend tonight to help her neck and shoulder. Noticed the dog looks a bit stiff today, despite wearing her magnetic collar so she can be done over the weekend too!
