It's been four weeks since i last rode Prince. Surprisenly he has been remarkable calm, until i shift him over, and then he comes tearing up to the fence where i've shifted him over. He bucks a couple of times as if to say “Yippee! Grass!”
i came out this morning only to find him dozing in the sun. I started to laugh when i saw his ears, they were drooped sideways. His ears shot straight up when he heard me, and he started to dance on his tiptoes as he does when he knows something interesting is gonna happen. Like me shifting him over, or giving him a massage. He LOVES those lol.
Last week i trimmed princes feet, and they look alright execpt for one foot- i munted it, took to much toe off.. ooops! But he isn't sore, so maybe i can trim them shorter then i normally do. I'll have to see.
Its been so warm lately, its awesome! I'm hoping its still sunny in Kaponga when i get home so i can clean out Princes paddock. Its been so hot that two people i know got sunburnt! Both really bad, unfortantly i didn't get anything, not even a tan!
Prince is shedding heaps, his black coat is coming through the ginger/brown winter coat. The other day i noticed his tail has been getting a bit thin, i'll have to stop brushing it.
Oh yes! A really good spray to get the knots out of horses manes and tails is silicone spray- just the stuff you get from car shops. I personally like Silicone Star as mine because its not too oily.
Well I hope to go riding this Wednesday after RDA. Fingers crossed.
