5.20 woken up by husband going to loo.
5.30 get up before alarm goes off
Drive to yard seat belt warning light and buzzer beeping
Dog barked while I was getting horses in.
Hope hadnt been fed so banging his door
He banged it really loudly as I was putting Sid in his stable which
scared him and he turned round and ran out
Rollo broke the string he was tied to so 2 horses milling about
loose on the yard, dog barking since he could see Rollo by the gate
and Hope banging his door.
Got Sid in stable not easy, quivering with nerves.
Tied Rollo up
Fed Hope
Sid banging door - fed Sid
Sid knocked his water bucket and scared himself
Kim arrived and got Hope out halfway through his feed. Tied him up and
he knocked her mug of tea off the washing machine outside his stable
.(dont ask) I picked broken pieces of mug up.
Sid finished food reached round and took his head collar off the hook
and started throwing it around helicopter style.
Rollo pawing the ground.
Sid found the light switch where his head collar had been hanging and
starts to bite and pull at it.
Kim shouts at Sid.
Rollo jumps
Dog barking on and off.
Sid breaks cover off light switch.
I take Sid out of his stable and put him in Rollos more stress,
pacing and huge banging of door.
We manage to tack up and get out
Phew 6.30am
30 minute walk and trot hack.
Get back to yard Sid still banging door which although a very strong
door with very good fittings is starting to shake and look loose! Sid
also pawing at the ground no mat at the entrance to that stable so
scraping on the concrete.
Untack
Put on fly mask and fly rug for Sid,
Take him through narrow gate and tie up dog hysterical since Sid in full view
Go back and put Rollos fly rug on,
Take him through the narrow gate..
Collect Sid, walk to field.
Let Sid go
Kim lets Hope go before I have done Rollos fly mask and Hope and Sid
canter off.
Rollo is not going to hang around so I let him go.
Try and catch Rollo to put put mask on do on 2nd attempt.
Back to yard, tidy and sweep.
7.15 Drive home seat belt warning light and buzzer beeping
