Is her two front teeth! On Saturday morning, after giving the horses breakfast, then doing the poo picking, I was greeted by an Arab filly who appeared to be wearing lipstick. On closer inspection it turned out to be blood, and immediately I thought she had fallen over in the stable, or bumped herself somehow. I encouraged her to lift her top lip up, and lo and behold her two front teeth had come out, and her gums were bleeding a little.
I was very relieved that not only had she not hurt herself, but she has had one wobbly tooth for what seems like ages now, and I was beginning to wonder if giving her some Highland Toffee might do the trick (that’s what worked for me as a kid!). However, nature seems to have taken it’s course, and she now has two grown up teeth poking through the gums. It’s a shame in a way that horses can’t breathe through their mouths as it would have been the coolest thing ever to teach her how to whistle!
As for training, well frankly we haven’t really been doing any. I am struggling with the fact that it now appears to be pitch dark at about half past four in the afternoon, which makes poo picking in the long foggage, a bit of an ‘against the clock’ event! After doing that, I’m a bit knackered, particularly as I am now really fat. So I have resigned myself to not getting stressed about doing very little with Faith over the next few months. We will just use this time to consolidate the basics, as she is just so chilled out with rugs, grooming etc. So the main event each evening is really just cuddles, and the quest to find new itchy spots to scratch. Apparently, I’m getting quite good at it!
