Fingers Crossed!

I am starting to get a little nervous. Two weeks left to get everything sorted and nothing has changed from last week on things sorted. Even the place where I am supposed to be staying isn't 100% sorted yet either.

As for floats, i have a few more ideas. Thank heavens! There is a friend of mine called Rach, and she has a float - one problem, its got chains instead of a bum bar.
  Also there is Majestic horse floats, which i'm still waiting to hear back on the price. Putting Prince on that will save me so much stress and Prince will have less stress too, because he likes trucks.
  There is a place just out of Inglewood called Mahony Hire, apparently its cheap and all right if you don't mind your horse travelling with a slightly not so nice looking float.

As for grazing, i have gotten Mum to put a notice on Parelli Connect, a wanted grazing in Tauranga thing. I am still looking on trademe, and asking friends who live in Tauranga. Fingers crossed something comes up.

Prince this week as been a real grumbler. He complained about his hay (didn't touch it even though he was hungry), complained about the grass (too much buttercup and not enough grass), complained about the weather (by been hunched up as close as possible to the hedge) and complained about been locked up in his paddock. My response - Too bad!

I've noticed he has been leaning across the barbed wire fence, and he has ripped two holes in the front of his rug. So on a sunny day, that rug is coming off and is getting a wash and a patch up!

I haven't had time for riding at all this week, but since this is a four day weekend, i am planning to do at least two days of riding. Although i have to mow the lawns first! Maybe i'll just park prince on there and give him a groom while he is eating because his hair is just falling out in clumps!

I got prince to give me a kiss on his nose finally! I have been trying to teach him for months and finally succeeded after picking a handful of grass..
