Dear diary
Oh my lord what a week I have had.
First of all aunty m and uncle J came to visit at the weekend. Now last time I let Aunty M ride me I threw her off so I was under strict instructions from mum to behave myself otherwise face her wrath. Now knowing Mums wrath usually involves the business end of a leadrope I decided that since my bum is now rather bald (see last weeks diary for details), I would behave.
Anyway Aunty M rode me around a bit then jumped me over a few jumps. Just for fun I ran out on her a couple of times until I saw the look on Mums face, decided Mr leadrope might be about to make an appearance, weighed up my options of running quickly and then jumped everything. We then went for a play over the XC fences and the bank to show Aunty M how XC should be done when you have feather power. Yeehaa! I then took her for a run around the field and went back to bed.
The next day Mum and Dad loaded me on the lorry sans fancypants and we set off. Now I was a little confused as mum wasnt wearing the pale coloured jodphurs which I like to wipe my nose down so I didnt know what was going on. We got to a strange yard with lots of other horses and mum let me off the lorry. Then she scared me to death by telling me shed sold me!! NOT funny. It turns out wed borrowed a riding schools ménage so I could get used to being away from home heh mum its not me that needs to get used to it. Do you see me breathing like a dirty phone call every time we set foot off the yard? Huuumm? Nope thatd be mum. Anyway there were lots of little people at this place who all thought I was fab so I pranced about showing off then dad got on and showed them how high I can jump. They were all most impressed and gave me carrots and things. I quite like it there I have to say.
Then on Wednesday I had an awful trauma. Im not even sure I can talk about it. My young brain is scarred for life . Dad and I were out for a hack around the block when up in front we saw two cars parked in a layby. I thought nothing of it as we were on the way home and I was dreaming of bed and dinner. As we got closer a human female got out of one car, bent over winked like a mare in season at me then pulled her pants back on! I didnt know where to look! Dad by this stage was giggling to himself and made me ride right up to the car window where there was a man with his trousers not where they were supposed to be! Oh my Gosh!! He looked very embarrassed, Dad seemed to find this very funny and phoned mum whilst we rode past. Im sure he told her wed just been dogging? Arent dogs those things that bark? Trust me I didnt see any of them in the car or that would have been even more wrong. Some people are just weird. I told Pride about it when we got back and he was horrified too. Hed be even more worried if hed overhead Dad say he was going back for another look!
Tomorrow Im off to a dressage test then on Sunday Im off to Evil Army mans house and THEN on Monday Im off to cool new shoes mans house to have some new shoes fitted. I am such a jet setter! Cool new shoes man says I can relax in the heated solarium whilst he does my feet, see finally someone is realising how a star like me should be treated. Bliss!
