My next equine project horse

Ted has been promoted and trusted to do a special job today. My special old lad is poorly and in his barn, Ted is alongside and in charge of keeping the old lad calm. I did have to explain twice and do a diagram for Ted but the penny dropped and he is taking his caring duties seriously.

Having been up in the night staying awake during this mornings meeting is going to be a struggle. Red Bull purchase on the way to work I think !

So sorry your old lad is poorly, hope he gets better soon.

oh no! hope he's improving this morning? and that Ted hasn't kept him from his rest by chatting away at all hours?!

The old lad is improving but his acth level has risen to 77 so meds will be increased. Ted took his duties very seriously and looked after Mr Leo well. Unfortunately the husband saw Ted doing diy on the fencing, large itchy arse on elderly post and rail was only going to have one result, so Ted had to vacate.

It was a landmark day for Ted today. I asked his breakers to visit and do this ...............

and we went for a trip during which he did not fret at all. He off loaded and reloaded afterwards without a problem. I also loaded him and he was fine. We are off to a baby dressage show on Tuesday.

The day ended with Ted and Alice hacking out together, not entirely sure that I approved but I could not escort them with the rock steady mare as the vet was due. Apparently they were perfectly well behaved.

I have just had a text from Ted asking me if he can have driving lessons and a text from Alice telling me Ted had told her she needed to shave her beard and her legs. I can see trouble brewing.

You must be so proud to see the two of them going out for a hack together, as for the texts just ignore them or tell them to call "horseline" if they want to sort out their petty squabbles, although they would actually both look better for a haircut Ted being the worst offender with his hairy ankles so he has no reason to pick on Alice, hers are modest compared to his.

I am proud, relieved and grateful all mixed up together. They are so grown up and there is so much to look forward to.

Ted's furry ankles have a reprieve until the spring and then he will have a tidy hunter hairdo. He has just learnt Intro A and will wow the judge at 8.55am on Tuesday. Hopefully he copes and it is a good wow. It is indoors which will be a first for him.

He can forget the sports car, lets have a nice Oakley.

Have everything crossed for you and Ted. Don't forget the hip flask, and the piccies.
Don't stress - he will be an absolute star.

Thank you - guess who cannot sleep! I am more worried about tomorrow's intro A than I was taking a hunter to hoys. I really must start believing in the furry fool.
 
Oooh, good luck! What a milestone achievement - sorry, shouldn't say anything like that at this stage i.e. beforehand.
At least he'll load, or if not you can blame those breakers, haha.

Had a lovely morning. He was a little puzzled with the plaiting business at 5am and I was a little puzzled at the amount of mane he seems to have acquired.

Loaded nicely but was quite anxious on the journey and got hot. He really tried hard and I have a nice video of him doing his test, just need to work out how to post it.

Loaded to go home without issue and travelled much better. He is a little star.
 
Well done on today's test for you and Ted :) Also looking forward to a video :)
How is your old boy or did I miss an update?
Is Alice getting to go out on the town and show her dance floor moves soon too?
 
Oh 'eck, hopefully someone who knows about these things will be along shortly.

According to photobucket, you should be ok for up to 10 mins and 500mb. No idea how to resize a video, though. (OH says you need to lower the bit rate, but I haven't a clue what he means).
