bathtime!

mega hot day (and forecast for more of the same tomorrow) so since i don't think i should be riding again yet (mega bruise, and back quite sore above the bra strap area) i thought i'd give him his first (and probably only) bath of the year.. he seemed to enjoy that - he loves drinking out the hose end, and is the first horse i've had i can safely aim the hose to the top of the neck at the poll ....

then we went out in hand down to the ford, gaynor was riding charlie - that was the drying off walk out ...i'd been meaning to do that, as that's the track i had the fall on ....no bother (and a lot less pheasants for some reason)

  1. Maybe the pheasant was as spooked as Monfils. *G*

    I guess summer isn't leaving Britain either. We where up in the mid 80'sF (27-28C) today here in New Jersey...and there were tornadoes about. Not exactly pleasant weather.
