Hi everyone, hope the windy weather isnt getting you down to much
Anyway i have now had my new horsey just over a week and apart from a odd reaction yesterday to deosect (he came with lice) everything has gone smoothly.
Today i decided to take him out (on the ground) to have a good look at the local area. Up till now i have been walking him down our lane and around the winter field.
So he is a ex racer 7 year old gelding roughed out over winter but no training as such.
These were the hazards we came across...
1. Very very windy
2. Narrow path with hedge either side blowing onto him and me!
3. 2 dogs off the lead sniffing round him
4. numerous tractors, none of which slowed down
5. Road roller as our road is being resurfaced
6. Cars chucking up the loose stones from the road resurfacing
7. bonking pigeons in the undergrowth
8. A fisherman wafting his rod around
9. Very lively cows chasing us down the hedge
10. road signs from roadworks flapping madly, one of which came off the pole and blew into hedge
11. new house being built at end of lane with flapping plastic, builders making a noise etc
12 and finally a man jet washing his driveway wearing a bright yellow all in one water proof thingy and the generator making alot of noise
So how do you think it went...answers on a postcard please!!
