he's a messy eater....

not assisted by my putting far too much hay in the haybar anyway!

it was scattered all over the bed - a lot of it was able to be picked up and put back, but the bit in the middle had to be binned.... shame. on the other hand, i think he's enjoying going round picking it out, LOL

Led him down to the field with the bitless bridle on to give control, but once he hit the field i was clearly not going to hold him to walk through it to the next one, so shut gate and let him off.

BAAAD me. should have left headcollar on, i was told (I've NEVER done that, TBH ...) he couldn't be caught until everything else was in, not that a lot went out... and he likes the ladies (no idea when he was gelded)

tomorrow he's staying in, 1/2 hour in the arena whilst i muck out and same at night.

plus YO had forgot (as had I) that it was school holidays so noone else there at same time as me... so tomorrow i shall do the horse second and then straight to work, rather than horse first then rush home to change/breakfast

but tonight i got both the rugs off and gave him a bit of a brush over, then put the new fleece on under the outdoor rug.

he looked very smart, but as he's finding it very difficult to stand still for any length of time (an everyone had gone by then!) he didn't get his photo took until he was eating his tea....which doesn't really tell you anything save that he likes his tea!

having done all that, went to Sainsbury's and as i got out of the car thought, I'm sure it's getting warmer... and then it started snowing on the way home.

I'll probably find I've overrugged by the morning, LOL!

interestingly, a friend on facebook has posted that they have seen him race....
