Heat and Dust.
I have been very lazy about writing my blog. But, it's nice to give my hooves a rest. We have been very hot the last few weeks and it has not rained for 102 days. Everything is covered in dust including us. The trees look terrible and maybe some will die, I hope its not the fig trees 'cos we love figs. Last week Helen looked at my head which was covered in red juice and thought I had cut myself. She seemed very worried the silly moo. On closer inspection it turned out to be fig juice. I hope the rain comes soon then I will be able to go out with Gretel and Tring on a lead rain. The ground is much to hard for me to walk far with out any shoes and get my legs banged about and as the old expression goes ''never hammer hammer on the hard hard roads'' this is life shortening for horses and what ever discipline we are asked to train for, footing is everything.
When everyone goes out without me I go in the spring field. I like this better and on Saturday I helped Peter pick the almonds. We have lots this year.
Helen is off to the UK tomorrow and Gail is coming to look after us. We like Gail and this week Gail's friend Lilli May has been here. So now I have two small human friends. So I am kept very busy doing riding. Helen is going to bring me a coat for the wet weather, hope its a pink one. Neigh 4 now.
