All week my mother has been mean to me.... I've been starved (even jumping out of the field and scaring Grandad didn't seem to make the point that we don't like the field!), had 2 thirds of my mane forcibly removed, and been worked half to death....
Then tonight mum arrived, dragged me into my stable, brushed me vigorously, then made me trot up the big hill, using my bottom, without running! she gave me 2 minutes breather at the top, then made me walk down the gallopy track then gallop back up it, then gave me 2 minutes rest before we walked home... I was quite sweaty by the time we got home.
Tom was being a fool and did more galloping while I was out than I've done in the whole of this week! He's dug a big trench in front of the gate and made mum more mean.
So mean in fact that she washed me... not rinsed like normal but proper scrubbed with some poofy smelling green goo stuff. Tom stood at the gate and laughed at me. Mum said I smelt bad and was greasier than a very greasy greased pole....
How very racist of her.
Mum then put Tom and I in (with no haylage I might add), swept the yard down (leaving us with no haylage for a good 10 minutes), and then went to make us some dinner (still no haylage).... just as I thought that she was going to feed us, I spotted the final proof of how mean she has been to us lately... She had to scoop the cobwebs out of the buckets first!!!
She did feed us, I got a tiny handful of chaff, and a bit of high fibre nuts... I'll never survive.... But Tom got even less than I did, so I suspect I'll be an only pony by tomorrow morning as Tom will waste away.
We got turned out into the little paddock later on, so no chance of much to eat there either, so I'll follow Tom shortly.
On the plus side, my friend Dex's mum is taking me on a pleasure ride on Sunday as Dex has a poorly leg and mum is doing the organising and then has to go to something with the band she plays with.... What is a band? Apparently, mum blows her own trumpet a lot according to OH...
