Dear diary
I have a dilemma. A big one. I have decided I love my mum more than anything in the world, but I don’t think she loves me at the moment.
Last week after evil army man had been, mum announced she was going to be brave and we were going out jumping. I was tempted to point out there nothing brave about sitting on top of me, pointing me at a fence, swearing a few times and then shutting her eyes whilst I do all the work. Tempted but not brave enough to say it………..
Anyway I was loaded up and off we went to a new place. It was ok, the warm thing was very big which I prefer and the jumps were ok. We had a bit of a problem at one of the jumps, if truth be told mum wobbled as we landed so I thought she wanted me to go right, I then saw dad so cantered over to say hi. Note to self – must not do this in the middle of a round of jumps. We went back jumped the jump and carried on but I was tired and we hit the last jump. Mum was pleased though so that was cool.

Then on Saturday – well I couldn’t believe it! Mum rode me out with fit mare, poof bags, lanky legs boy and wise Mont. Wise Monty is as old as Timmy which means they are old – like dinosaurs. Mum NEVER rides me out like this so I think she’s been taking that confidence stuff again. It was FAB. We went down to the woods and rode for miles. The only down side was mums singing. I love her but seriously I’ve heard cats yowling sound more tuneful. Even Monty who is old and so deaf was wincing (well either that or he had something in his eye).
THEN on Sunday mum took me on my own round the big field. What is wrong with the woman? She NEVER does these things. WOW! The singing is getting a tad annoying though as she doesn’t seem to know many songs and those she does know she murders. I know this because we have a radio in the stables so we listen to tunes man. Fi’s mum leaves it on radio 2 but as soon as they’ve gone we tune it to some banging drum and bass and a bit of R&B. I tell you the moves fit mare can pull to Fifty Cent are enough to give a boy a heart attack.
Best of all when we got back she gave me a lovely groom, gave me some carrots and a big tub of lickit! YUM YUM YUM.
Now if I’m honest that’s when the week went down hill. I love my lickit and as I was tired decided the best thing was to take it out of the silly tub mum puts it in and lie down with it to eat it. Unfortunately I fell asleep and managed to roll on it. Now I’m failing to see why it being all over me is a problem…………..? Honestly the fuss mum made was SO out of proportion. It gave me lots of opportunity to ask if anyone wanted a lick of my molasses covered body……….. Unfortunately the only person who said yes was Felix and THAT wasn’t going to happen in my lifetime.
Now admittedly several days late it is still stuck in my feathers and I’m not sure how mums going to get it off but she’s clever – I’m sure she’ll think of something.

So not sure what I’m doing this weekend – mum has mentioned going to a car wash but I am baffled as to what this has to do with me?
We’re also gong to the pub on Sunday. We’re all riding there apparently. Timmy says the pub is like the dog house only where human men go to avoid their wives. Should be interesting then……
 
Hovis - Ooooo big boy covered in molasses - my dream come true - I will be up as soon as I can to clean you up - won't take long as I have a very very big tongue. I have gone all quivery at the thought of you and food.

I am not very well - not sure what I have done but my leg hurts and I can't move it as well as I should - it is all stiff. Mummy is baffled as she says she can't find anything wrong and when I stood scratching behind my ears with my hind legs she said something about daft lump can't be that bad.

Anyway hunky vet Mark is coming out today, (mummy goes all funny when he turns up) though I do hope he is not going to stick something in me - he always does when he sees me, but I do get lots of treats so not that bad.

I had some of this strange white stuff in dinner yesterday - bit odd but I do feel better and was able to follow daddy round the field last night burping in his ear and then knocked over the barrow poo he had so thoughfully collected for me to inspect.

Good thing is that I got out of the show last Sunday and the next one - worth being a bit sore to see mummy's face after spending hours of cleaning and messing around with me - to see me limp the next day, that will teach her, how many times do I have to roll and rub my head in the mud by the water buckets to show her that I don't wanna be a show clydesdale?

Lots of love and hope to lick you soon.

LOL!!!! This is priceless!
Hovis when are you going to write your book?
Bailey has asked me to tell you that you've given him inspiration for something to do to keep him occupied when he's next in his 'bedroom' over night (he's camping out at the moment) - he says being covered in likit sounds wonderful and as I like brushing him so much he thinks I might enjoy the challenge it would present!

I'm not sure I'm as impressed as Bailey tho after hearing it will cause more work for me...

OH Hovis thank you for brightening up my dull day. Love reading what you have been up to. You are very naughty rolling in your lickit. I have no idea how your pore mum is going to tackle getting out of your feathers. Can only think that may be a warm wash with fairy might work. Thank you again. I am so looking forward to reading that you are going to send off your dairy to the publishers.
 
PMSL at the likit.

Hovis I have two little kittens that would lick absolutely anything, would you like me to send them to you for cleaning purposes?

Oh Hovis, you are a man after my own heart. I'm not allowed to have likits because Mum says they make me fat, I did get one once and I loved it. I will happily come and lick it of for you, and I've got a huge slobbery tongue so it will be no problem! You are so lucky having a fit mare to hack out with, there are no mares at our yard, but I am going to a show on Sunday so perhaps there will be some beauties there.

Thanks Hovis and keep writing the diary, I love reading it.

Hovis,
I have decided that you and are kindred spirits. We are much minsunderstood. My mummy doesn't recognise my aritistic talent either, although I think my medium - mud on grey coat is probably slightly better than lickit on feathers. I look like an ancient warrior, you're probably more like a toffee apple.

I even managed a great pattern yesterday by walking through a tree covered in mud, the branches scraped lovely clean lines through the mud. Was mum pleased though? Did she capture my art for posterity? Pah, was she heck, she just got that nasty snakey thing that spits water and washed it all off.

So then I was cold as well as clean

All my hard work for nothing. They didn't recognise that Man Cough guy as a genius either until after he died. We have years of misery ahead of us.

Hi Hovis
Love the likit idea - can I come & remove it for you - I'll lick anything that tastes nice & you sound like my kinda guy - proper mum keeps mentioning some skinny TB thing as a potential "husband" but as I'm a sec D I think you're much more my type.

I keep wading in the stream (topped up with run off from a broken septic tank) but my share-mum keeps washing it off - can't understand why she keeps pinching her nose when she finds me !!

Can't wait for "The Book" !!
 
Dear Hovis,

My mum is just as mad as yours. She cant sing either.....doesn't stop her trying though.

Lickits....you should try the raspberry one, the ginger ninja rekons they are cool for turning your whole mush a lovely shade of blue if you chew it long enough, and then dribbling it all down your front is SURE to garner a response fit for only after the watershed!!!

That horrible Army man you can send to me. I might only be little but I am tough! I'll bite him behind his knee's. I would go higher but the likelyhood is I probably wont be able to reach!

Love Little Stig
 
Hovis - I have just discovered your diary and am addicted. Tell your Mum that all your exploits may be a trial for her, but they provide huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge entertainment for us!!!
 
Hovis, you stupid muppet, what a waste of a likkit. I eat them in 5 minutes flat, no risk of me lying in them, they don't get the chance! Mum and Auntie not so pleased with me for my fast munching though, but I never got the point of licking when a well placed set of gnashers would do the trick???

Speaking of which I haven't had one in AAAAAAGES, if either of my humans are reading, you should be ashamed and buy me 10 immediately.

Anyhow, Hovis your mum posted about your likkit crisis a few days ago, so I have sent one of my chums around to lick it off, cos I don't do feathers in my tar. Its a bit of a trek but He should reach you by next friday.

My Dearest Hovis,

I am so dreadfully sorry to be so late in my correspondence, please accept my most hearfelt apologies. As I was explaining to Spooky Pony only this morning, my Human has been most trying and has had to be put firmly in her place. She is a sore trial to me at times.

Must dash, need to rearrange an apple into something the human can wear on a clean fleece, but if you should be so kind as to reply, please remove all traces of lickit first - I have dreadful memories of Human trying to chip it off my most sensitive muzzle before the first trip to the horsepital. I shudder at the mere mention of it!

With warmest wishes,

The Dizzy Blonde
