Dear diary
Wow what an exciting weekend I had last week!
I went HUNTING!! Whoop whoop!
It started with mum giving me a really good groom, then aunty Sarah putting my travel boots on. This confused me when I saw poofy had also got his travel boots on. I was glad to see that he looks as silly as I do with the silly things on but we never go anywhere together so I did start to worry mum had finally sold us as a job lot…
Anyway after poof bags took aaaaggggeees to get on the lorry mum loaded me and off we went. We still had no idea where we were off to so I entertained myself by trying to pull poof bags whiskers out through the bars of the lorry. He kept moving though which is so not the point of the game.
Mum wasn’t in the lorry which confused us but occasionally as we went round roundabouts I could see her in the car behind us. Most odd.
We eventually got to a big field and mum and Aunty Sarah got me ready whilst dad sorted out poofy. I couldn’t see any jumps r anything but there was quite a few other horses there. It was all very strange. Then we heard this odd noise. It sounded like the one who barks but lots of them and they kept howling like the wind does though the stables sometimes.
Then all of a sudden there were dog things everywhere and we set off behind them. Aunty Sarah was riding me and mum set off in the car again. I didn’t understand what the heck was going on but we wet on a lovely hack with all these other horses and of course the dog things. One of the dogs obviously had a poo problem and we had to keep stopping to let it go to the toilet. It was a nice hack and we got to jump some nice big logs and thing. Then when we got to a field the dogs started acting really strangely and running about barking and things. Then we were off!! I saw mum flash by as we ran past, following the dogs and these bossy men on the horses at the front. It was fab!! Poof and I ran like the wind, following all the others. I hadn’t got a cue what we were doing but it was great fun and dead fast!! Wooohhhaaaaaa!! Then the dogs seemed to find what they were after – which to my disappointment was just a bloke in a jumper. What did he have that they wanted so bad we had to run fast to catch up with him? Anyway then we had another nice hack and go back to where we started. Mum was thee and she seemed very pleased with poof bags and I so lord knows what we were supposed to have done?
We got home and mm gave me a nice bath, lots of nice food and lots of cuddles. Mum is one odd woman sometimes.
She’s been away for most of this week but came back last night to ride me. We had a fun time although she is getting rather fixated with me doing perfect circles and holding m head just so. I was ignoring that bit so Dad got on to show her the lessons he’s been having with Aunty Cathy. Aunt Cathy is really cool and a very good rider but a boy could go off her pretty quick if she’s going to start teaching mum and Dad how to make me hold my head like some sort of dressage queen. I am the Destroyer – not a dainty pansy who ponces round in circles. Hummpphhff.
Anyway I’m kind of hoping we get to go on another hack with the dogs soon and that mum soon forgets about this dressage poop. I wonder how I can convince her that I am far too manly to do it? Ideas on a postcard please?!!!
 
I'm glad you had a fab time Hovis. It does sound like fun and I think I'd like a go but all those dogs *shudder*. I don't like too many dogs near me.

I know what you mean about the travel boots, they're just not right are they?

Talk to you soon mate,

Bob.
 
LOL I absoluetly loved reading this diary....
I would say stick your tongue out evade the bit do little prancy things when she asks you to do nice circles and stomp the ground a few times, nothing nasty though as wouldn't want your mum upset by this, but it could be a good way of getting out of doing the dressage thing!!
well done for having a nice day out chasing those dogs and the man in a jumper...
 
LOL! Hovis you are a star

Glad you enjoyed it Hovis!

Now, don't tell Mum I told you this - but a little birdie tells me that your Mum has been thinking of giving you a whole three days off each week - with access to the computer still on a Friday! Won't that be brilliant if it's true?!

Harry says: " You've got it right with those travel boot things Hovis. Every time they put them on me, I stretch my back legs riiiight ouuut like thiiiisss and then I sort of STOMP my feet and lean right back to try and streeeetch my front legs like thiiis. But, they won't fall off, so when they put me in the trailer I do loads of poo and stamp in it to make the travel boot things all dirty, he he he. Why can't they just take us to fun places with loads of running and jumping, without the travel boot things? Humans eh? Who understands them? "
 
Dear Hovis,
The Ginger Ninja reckons what you did is called hunting and she reckons its loads of fun!
She also reckons I cant go as I am too small, Pah what does she know! I can jump! Ok.......it might only be a few inches of the floor but I bet I could jump little sticks no problem!!!
And what I haven't told that silly ninja is next time she goes a hunting she is wearing a red ribbon on her bum....HAHA she is going to look sooooooo stupid!
Love Little Stig
 
Dear Hovis,

I've been on one of those hacks too, with the howling things and the tooting things, where you get to run really really fast. It's so much fun that I even get carried away enough to jump over some things! I hope we get to go again soon!

What are these "travel boot" things you mentioned?

I'm pretty sure the Carrot Lady doesn't put those on me...
