dear claire, do not leave tack box in stable ... it will be upended and filled with hay.
happily, it wasn't trashed, i don't think from what i could tell so when i've some daylight i'll be able to sort it (and a lot of other stuff!) out!
otherwise, as happy as he can be in the stable, eating up, toasty warm.
we finish at noon tomorrow, so hoping i can get him out in the arena tomorrow afternoon... that WOULD be good. apparently 3 went out today, 2 in arena and 1 in field...
and the vet arrived just after me tonight, a pony has hurt himself .. not sure what the view was, thinking abcess or twisted joint...hope he's ok.
Did mane and tail tonight - mane was ok, but tail had developed rats tails, as they do - didn't go for the mane and tail spray yet (although i expect he'll be fine with them!)
passport sent off to Weatherbys to register me as new owner! special delivery, so signed for all the way (not cheap, but secure!)
the passport shows his date of birth at 28th Feb 2002, so he'll be 9 in 2 months.... (and it took the insurance company to point that out to me, i thought, 8!)
Nine is a good age for a Thoroughbred boy. He should be over all the "teenage" sillies by now.
ReplyDeleteLeaving anything potentially playworthy withing Monfils's reach could have unexpected consequences. I think geldings are more prone to making toys of whatever's handy. If he's the playful type, then nothing's safe.
Hope you can get him out for a bit. He needs some exercise, I think.
