    Fetch-in Fun!

    So....went to collect the Eejit for his afternoon sleep....cheerful neighing as he heard the car stop.....then when I approach the gate, SPIN and canter off....STOP and go up.....and trot back up.......and go UP! "Are you going to be sensible"? Bangs gate and flings head. Off I go to get a...

    Haylage - how bad is too bad?

    Haylage - how bad is too bad?

    Grass in the summer field is pretty minimal (hope that will improve with the rain) but for now am haying......and am down to the first cut of last year, which was very wet and is dire. Basically going off the second the bale is opened - but I allowed the eejit horse to have a sniff and he seems...

    When horses and beasts chat to.....

    Oh accents are easy, Galway all the way here. But it was a semi-serious question - are they just tryign to figure out what species the other is? Discussing the grazing? Enjoying the same companionship we do with a horse or dog? Unanswerable, but still......

    When horses and beasts chat to.....

    each other, I wonder what they say? Have just been watching mine having a chat with some cattle over his fence....a bit of nodding, a bit of staring, a quick bite...... If only we knew what they were thinking. Any guesses?

    Rug? Not tonight, thanks!

    Went out to give Eeejit his bedtime pear and put his rug on. Accepted pear with pleasure and rug with nippy ill-grace, then looked sour and alternated pulling out my coat with turning and plucking at the rug. So....off it came, at which point he stalked off looking satisfied. He'll prob bei...

    Cherrypickers! Heavy Cables! Drills! Workmen in Mid-air!

    SOME people would think themselves very lucky to enjoy 70 minutes of the squeezebox. But perhaps not with me playing. Horse has just joined a site meeting, Openreach have brought a smaller cable down to ground level at one of the poles and are discussing what to do with it. He is gently...

    Cherrypickers! Heavy Cables! Drills! Workmen in Mid-air!

    Not quite a dandelion, but I thought that if he was in brave mode he might enjoy some accordion music. Only took 70 minutes to gather the courage to approach the monster. Of course, that may be a reflection on my playing.....

    Cherrypickers! Heavy Cables! Drills! Workmen in Mid-air!

    All in action, re-stringing phone lines on the edge of his 1 acre summer field. Reaction? Moderate but relaxed interest. Worth looking at but not worth stopping eating for. A most untypical horse, he is........

    How many people does it take...

    You forgot the 6 who will ask if the fit of the bulb has been checked before writing it off as unsound. And the 4 who will say that they always rub turmeric over their bulbs and they never need changing.
