Moved Yards, Success with Loading and Poor Farmers

[Pidge]

Ok well were do I start

Pidge had his back done at 7.45am this morning by the brilliant RC (thanks again Patches

) and is only slightly out which she has sorted and will come again in 3 months time

Moved the horses to Rodbaston College, started sorting at 8.45am and got to Rodbaston just before 11am, thanks to Sis, Mum, Dad, Ian, Rob and Lou

Settled horses in and sorted rubber matting out etc. Phew job done!
Plus forgot to say last week when went to local show that tried tapping Pidge slightly on his bum when he planted himself at the bottom of the ramp the previous time we went out and he loaded pretty much ok. So when went to show he had a small tap on the way there and Lou just stood behind him when we cam home - no tapping. Well this morning he positively carted me on to the lorry, really keen not scared, think he thought he was going jumping again

Been told now no horse lorries on or off the College premises so no show tomorrow and probably no Somerford Park next week

but to be honest if the restrictions are enforced on all sorts of transport etc then hopefully the situation won't be as bad as last time (my Aunty lost all her cattle last time

) so I really feel for the farmers as they suffered not long ago with this and it was hell, and then to have coped with the floods and now this well

There will be plenty more shows to go to anyway!

First, congrats on moving to your new home!!

Are the boys settled in then?

Its a shame about the restrictions but hopefully these measures will stop a repeat of 2001.

sounds like you have had a very busy time!

thanks, yes they have settled in very well, think I was most chuffed about Pidge being back to normal loading on to the lorry
