As expected, after a month of being confined to the stable and going into the school only [as we were unable to leave the yard or turn horses out], Bailey appears a bit "school stale."
He has been back in "proper work" from Monday just gone, and whilst he seems to be good to hack, he is being a tad cheeky to school, so YO tells me.
I have decided to go back to doing some groundwork with him in the school, just to mix it up a bit and give him something else to focus on - he has always really enjoyed it too.
Now, given the Diamond Jubilee is around the corner, I've decided we'll play around with inflatables, flags, have balloons and bunting tied up and around [although this doesn't usually faze him anyway]. It then occurred to me [poor pony] that I could get him well and truly "up" for the occasion, and dress him up all patriotic like; so I'm thinking union jack flag on him, plaiting bunting into his mane and painting his tootsies blue and red.
I am struggling to find somewhere that sells blue and rd hoof paint/polish - anyone in the know as to where I can get some?
And JTFD and Dafthoss - OH has duly been sent to Poundland for props and so far his shopping list is as follows:-
Bunting [a lot of it]
Balloons [a lot of them]
Big flag [a few]
Little flags [a lot]
Anything else I've forgotten?
Of course, anyone who helps will be welcome to see the pictures that will be taken over the coming weeks of Bailey's Jubilee Celebration!
Thanks!
