Felix the mexican foot banging man was here today, so gran had shut us in our bedrooms at about 8 this morning. She gives me more hay than mum does so I don't mind.

Mum arrived about 2 minutes before Felix the mexican foot banging man, and the black dog came out looking like she'd had an accident with a light shadey thing. it was stuck round her neck, and she looked like she was really embarrassed to be seen with it still round her neck.

Felix the mexican foot banging man reverses his van up to the end of the yard, but the grass was too juicy after the rain and he was sliding about! It was quite amusing!

I went first, and had to spend about an hour on 3 legs as usual. I don't really like it, and then Felix the mexican foot banging man poked me with the pokey end of the banger because I was making him hold my foot up. Well, what does he expect? he wanted it up there not me!!

Tom was in trouble this week too for throwing his body brush off his window sill at Felix the mexican foot banging man. He doesn't like going last, and was trying to tell Felix, but he wasn't listening. As he threw the brush it hit Felix's coat hanging on the lifty up lid of the van, and pushed it off in the direction of the hot roary dragon thing that lives in the van. Felix got very cross and waved his hand at Tom, who ran backwards in his stable. He's such a fairy!

Anyway, mum was asking Felix the mexican foot banging man what he thought of my feet, and he said that he was concerned I was a bit stiff, but couldn't decide if I was stiff or lazy... Stiff... Lazy.... Moi?!

He said that Tom's feet are in about as good shape as they can be. Aren't feet supposed to be round?

Anyway, bit of a pointless post, but it takes my mind off Tom's inane chatter.

Dear Ron,

I see people all the time around the yard, usually with big vans, and they make awful smells when they do stuff to my friends' feet...are they the same as your mexican foot banging man? What is mexican?

I get a Hoof Lady too that holds my feet up when she wants, and makes me put them on a funny stand thing. But she doesn't bang on them; she just scrapes them, and it feels kind of nice. She doesn't make funny smells, either.

Hi Spooky,

i think mexican is like a human version of irish draft or dutch warmblood.

i think the van is the same as the ones you see too. I don't know why he bangs my feet, it might be to do with the steel radials i've got. they're meant to stop me slipping or something.

Polos,

Ron
