Boring Week :-D

Sorry folks! i've been busy this week, so i haven't been able to ride.

I've gotten way behind on everything. i used to pick up horse manure for a friend for a bit of pocket money, but i quit about two weeks ago because i couldn't keep up doing her horse's manure and my boy's, and well now, i have a whole paddock to clean up of prince's and no sunshine! sometimes i wish taranaki was sunnier!
  i've started back at course, so i've been getting up early (yes not very early compared to you Ruffles!) about quarter past seven. Its been real neat because Prince has been expecting me to come out at about ten (ahh sleep in's!) and feed him. Also i get to see prince silhouetted against the early morning sunrise. Beautiful lol.
   the grass around our small property has over gown to the point it looks like a hay patch, although my awesome horse has been slowly munching it down he still has three more paddock's left to eat. um unfortunately for him, he has packed on so much wieght i can JUST barely feel his ribs. i need to get out there, no matter the time, and who cares if i'm tired and give him some exercise.
  I don't think i mentioned that i've made my own round pen, out of bits of electric fence wires, and some scattered standards. i put this up after prince moved out of the front paddock. Now, the grass has grown up green and lush around (and in) the round pen. so that's not going to be much good for me to ride in, because prince (when he is in there) is only going to want to eat the grass and i'll be forever telling him to 'leave it alone'. i need to hurry up and get me a new saddle lol..
