At last!
It's been three weeks since I last rode him and has now been what, 5 weeks since I've ridden him properly?
Took him in the school where he's not been for about 2 or 3 months. Definitely 2 months, possibly longer. He was fab in walk and then I got cocky and only did one circuit of trot before asking for canter so got a buck. That hurt.
As did the spooks by the poles.
But other than that we did OK :) did some leg yield and rein back and turn on the forehand.
Chucked Squirt out with T-Jay & co. T-Jay looked up at him and went "oh it's you" and carried on eating, Oscar and Harry got a bit "wahey, newbies" but Harry wouldn't let Oscar near Squirt, Squirt just wanted to eat and Oscar bit Harry then decided to do it sneakily - started grazing and was working his way back towards Squirt when I left LOL
Yard is a mess :( I tidied it up as much as I could yesterday but it's just ugh. Things everywhere and just generally needs a good sweep and a tidy up so no doubt that's next weekends project.
Flat, sorry apartment, is officially off the market. I was very domesticated yesterday and bought: a hoover (!), a washing up bowl, a laundry basket, a cutlery drawer thing and some glasses. I've checked the website and yup, it's no longer on there so they don't hang around!Scary.
On more good news, OH and T-Jay are in Central Horse News on the West Midlands page on page 20. For any one who gets CHN, he's on page 20 of the Aug/Sept issue so hopefully will generate some more visitors to his site and hopefully some orders cos with this apartment, he really does need to get drawing LOL.

Blimey it took over a week for our house to come off market and even longer for the one we are hoping to buy came off!
ReplyDeleteIs all very scary!
I'm glad you had a good ride. Wils was off work for a similarly lengthy period and it didn't do him any harm to have had a break and although it took a few weeks to get him (and me) back into the groove he's better than ever now.
ReplyDeleteAll your domestic-goddessy stuff is vey vey exciting! In particular the glasses, of course. What's the hoover for, btw?
athenrye, ours is renting though so think things move a little quicker when renting :)
ReplyDeleteHopefully next year we'll be doing the whole buying thing though! - assuming we don't fall out or kill one another by living together!
Mand, T-Jay has had 2+ months off every summer for the last few summers -he's not entitled to any more hol LOL I do feel a bit sorry for him though as he's absolutely raring to go and yet it's been me stopping him this year :(
I think the hoover was a moment of madness ... we only really need a dustpan and brush, the flat is so small LOL
