Ok.......

So I promise to try and keep to daily updates..... Dad is just the same but now at home - fingers crossed he is better soon!!!
Joshua and co have once again been confined to barracks due to the frost.... When did i move to Siberia and why did no one try to talk me out of it??? and I am on a mini road trip and endeavor to be back home this evening.......

Hmmm.....

Not much to report...... Father was taken into hospital today so day was spent on ward c34!!!
Josh and co had a day off so must crack on tomorrow !!!!

Bloody hell......

Moet josh and murphy had a day in the paddock. I came back to the yard to find that moet had jumped out of his paddock and into next doors garden he was found checking out the sun house...clearly telling me he needed some shelter from the rain. Mrs G and i managed to knock the fence down in order to retrieve him. At first i was admittedly gob smacked at his achievement but once he was safely recovered from said sun house and garden i was rather impressed with his scopey jump!!!

Apologies........

For the lack of recent updates!!! I have no excuse other than there are not enough hours in the day. Not a lot happened last week... Josh was confined to barracks for most of the week due to the hard frosts and icy yard.
However, the weekend was a rather different story, both Josh and Murphy had a pre season M.O.T on Sunday ( to say neither was impressed is an understatement!!!!) both had to be heavily sedated for P to do their teeth and neither thought much of the electric whizzy things in their gobs!!! For such a trainable horse under saddle Josh is a real pain in the posterior for any form of veterinary work!!
This week has been a busy week...the horses have worked every day and (touch wood!!) have worked v well. I have recently had a few problems with josh striking off on the incorrect canter lead on the right rein on the lunge, he was tilting his head through the transition and falling out through his shoulder, however since P has done his teeth and removed a ramp at the back of his mouth he is much happier and has not missed a canter lead!!!
I have been to see my physio today for a follow up appointment .... The good news is I still appear to be fixed and even the physio was impressed at my hip hop dance moves on you tube considering i couldn't bend to the left or reach below my knees in October lol!!

Good day......

At the office!!!
Both Josh and Murphy worked very well this morning on the lunge with no acrobatic displays from either of them. Josh spent the rest of the day in the paddock..... Unfortunately I didn't have my phone or camera about as Josh and Moet enjoyed synchronised rolls. Josh managed to roll all of the way over and surprised Moet by rolling on top of him.... Moet was so shocked he lay there in disbelief for what seemed like forever!!! Thankfully no harm done!!
New year detox continued with a power walk along the beach for a couple of hours this afternoon...

Apologies.........

For the lack of updates for the past 2 days; Friday was ladies night and Saturday was spent recovering ( least said the better!!!)
Today, however, has been full on spent with the ponies. Joshua worked well on the longlines but he did have a cheeky buck or 10 at the beginning of the sessions ( a hazard of leaving p to do evening feeds, he's a feeder lol)
Murphy has also developed a sense of humour and he decided to show me some dance moves at the start of his lunge session today!! Hopefully normal service will resume again tomorrow.
Murphy spent the afternoon in the paddock with his team mate Moet. Moet went out to play a palomino and came back in as a dark bay lol.
Meanwhile we all settling in at the new yard and spent a few hours unpacking more kit this afternoon......
I am back on the wagon and new year detox resumes tomorrow!!!!

Will.I.Am
