On the loose!

Well my lovely farrier is coming tomorrow to trim Faith’s feet. So I decided that Faith needs to have a chance to have a mooch around the yard, just so she is familiar with it, as that is where she will be having her trim.
As everything is pretty scary to Faith, and I didn’t fancy having my toes completely squashed, after a little while of being on the end of a leadrope, I let her loose on the yard to explore for herself.

Michael has a lot of ‘Man Stuff’ on the yard at the moment, so I corralled it all together in one place, and put up some jumps around it to make it all a bit safer for Faith. Typically though, that was the part of the yard that she found most interesting!

She was an absolute poppet, particularly as my neighbour had his tractor working in the next field, and Tommy kept trying to take chunks out of her behind as she walked past! We only had one Scooby – doo moment when the cat decided to do some acrobatics on top of the ride-on mower, but any horse would have jumped at that.

So here are a couple of vids from this evening. The quality is pants as I took them on my phone. I should also explain that I don’t normally go around sucking helium balloons, although it may sound that way. Also, I never, ever say “Good Jaaaahhhhhb!” in real life, only when around horses, and that is a hang-over from watching my Alex Kurland vids. I started off saying it because I found it funny, but now it seems to have stuck. It is very embarrassing.
