I think my mother has gone mad.... firstly last week she kept me in the day after hunting as she thought I was poorly (I'd trapped a nerve and my leg was a bit wobbly!), then she didn't take me hunting on saturday. I think she forgot to be honest.
Then yesterday.... firstly grandad turned us out, but I stood by the gate as I knew it was a hunting morning, then when mum came to get me in again (20 minutes later) she wouldn't let me go into my stable and I had to stand on the yard
but Tom got to go into his stable! What's more she didn't plait me up at all, just cleaned my socks and gave me a good brush with the sticky orange glove thing!
When she let me I went into the moving stable thing, and she then went off for 5 minutes!! Tom said she was walking between the stable yard and the field gate like she'd lost something. When we finally got going she must have got lost as we were on the road for nearly an hour, and hunting normally only takes half an hour to get to. Just before we stopped there was a really odd noise, like when the hounds hit wire, and then the moving stable thing started making funny noise and smells. Then we went down a reallly steep bank and then someone started beeping their car hooter. mum pulled over to let them past but I heard them saying that it looked like the wheel was coming off. Mum turned into a wimp and burst into tears!
Mum drove on a bit further and parked up. I didn't listen to the conversation she was having with the man because I was watching out for other horseboxes. We then had a really long, really hilly 3 mile hack to get to the meet and we were first there. I think mum got the time wrong!!
Had a good day hunting, got to jump a 5bar gate (though I don't think I was meant to!!), charged round a really big hill for a couple of hours and then mum took me home. The moving stable thingy was all fixed when we got back to it so we just trundled off home. Still took mum an hour though! when we got back she out the whole pot of the salty appley stuff that normally comes in a bucket of water in front of me, so I stuck my nose in it then got shouted at!!
anyway, more convinced that mum is going mad.... still only three days hunting left and then I can go out and ignore her for a few weeks before she'll want to be doing silly circles near those silly white boards.
