Feeling a bit iresponsible.. and naughty Badger!!

[Starbucks]

My friend has started going riding with my mum on our horses, she learned to ride with us when she was a kid and has ridden on and off over the years but not for about the last 3... so she's a novice really but very confident..

Anyway, she's ridden the old mare we have a couple of times but now she's finished hunting so doesn't really need the exercise anymore - so I suggested she go out on Badger!

He was quite a naughty boy by the sound of things!!

Set off flat out with her up a field, then again up a glass verge when they were supposed to be having a steady canter!

I think she was a bit scared but she lived!

Guess I forget that he likes to gallop every where! She doesn't sound too traumatised so hopefully she'll ride him again!

Gosh, you have glass verges!? Must cause some problems for their feet!

Ooopps!

Badger wrote me this email pleading me to have him. I quote 'Mummy makes me canter on glass verges, puts me in pink, does she not relise I'm a boy? and bling which the hunters laugh at. I'd much like to come down south and let you ride me, feed me and take me showjumping.'

I think we really ought to respect his wishes.

lol!! I am a mean mummy aren't I!

I let him go show jumping in the summer though and I think he would miss his hunting... even if he does have to wear pink bling!

He's much more intelligent than I thought though - I got his house the tinterweb a couple of weeks ago and daddystarbucks hasn't worked out how to send emails yet! I'll tell him to ask Badge next time he gets stuck!

I think he'd be up for running down there himself on todays performance!
