Tuesday Night diary entry. By Ron

[JenHunt]

There's something definitely up... yesterday I was minding my own business (well sleeping) in the field with Tom and mum's friend came to get me in. She calls him Pete, but refers to him as husband or pete or himself - is that his passport name?

He put us on the yard and shut the gate - I wasn't allowed in my stable and it smelt all funny because they've been putting black stuff (it looks like hoof oil!) on the doors and white stuff (chalk paste?) on the walls. Then aunty Ro came out with all my tack, they both brushed me and tacked me up - they've changed my bit too - it was a nice myler comfort snaffle with a thing for my fat tongue, and now its an evil French link. Tom didn't get tacked up, he just got his head collar on and more evil scary spray that smells like girls.

Then he led me into the field that they make us do circles in, and Tom was led in too. then Aunty Ro was giving him shouty instructions and making us do circles and transitions and stuff -for nearly an hour!! Tom got to just stand and watch, aunty Ro just held him! That's just so not fair, why do I have to do circles but not Tom? and he was saying I look like a girl.

Then today mum came up (she doesn't usually come up on a tuesday

and we went out for a ride with Tom. we only went up the hill and back down it, and up again and back down again. and we weren't allowed to canter, we had to trot all the way up both times! When we got back we were given some muesli and turned out again. Mum then went and started doing something in the exciting moving stable.

Mum also said tonight that she's coming up tomorrow and Thursday... we must be doing something exciting this weekend - do you think its time for hunting to start already?

This is Dizzy's human because Dizzy is too busy stuffing her face with hay, so I had to write her reply (personally I think she's just worried she'll break a hoof tip on the keyboard

). Dizzy says so sorry to hear that you had to work so hard, although she thinks the stable on wheels sounds like it could be fun. She hopes you have a nice time and that your human stops thinking you're a train going up and down those hills. If it's hunting you want to do, then Dizzy hopes that you have a lovely time; she doesn't think she will be going as from what she's heard there is usually a great deal of mud and standing around, and Dizzy doesn't really do either (takes forever to get out of her mane!).
