Someone Comes to See Twiggy

Well Twiggy has bee for sale for quite a while now - On trade me. And the other day ( I cant remember the exact day but it was roughly a week ago) I had a girl called Rebecca from Cambridge comes out to have a ride on her. I think she was about 15... Or nearly 15. Anyway she was such a nice person. and even better she a really nice rider. Twiggy was a proper arsehole to be quite honest! even though i rode her that same morning to try get her to behave! she leaped around and resisted Rebecca a little. but Rebecca completely fell for her (why, i don't know) but she really liked her. i was hoping so much she would buy her =[ but nfortunaly i got the phone call with the news she had decided to stay on ponies until she was 17! Bugger
But all was not lost i though, as i got another phone call from someone else wanting to come a ride her. So yesturday a girl called Georgia from Te Puke (i think all these maori place names sound the same anyway!) but to be quite honest she was no where near as nicer rider as Rebecca. Rebecca was kind and soft. This other girl rode Twiggy much to hard and she bounced around and struggled really, all this stressed Twiggy out and she just fought - Is "fought" a word? - her our of frustrtion =[ So i am rather glad she decided not to like Twiggy...
Man i think im destined to keep this damn horse forever... Oh well that fine by me i think i like Twiggy too much anyway.

Swollen Like a Balloon

Poor Twiggy's lower face seems to have swollen up like a balloon. i have no idea what wrong though, My guess is a Allergy to something or perhaps a bug bite. Poor Twiggy, I'm getting the vet out tomorrow to have a look.

Twiggy goes barefoot for the winter.

She hasn't been barefoot for about 2 years. But I'm not riding her much over winter so i thought it seemed like a good idea =]

I Hate Winter...

Winter really grinds my gears. Its all cold and muddy and wet...
Mud. I hate mud. Mud makes me fall over. I don't like falling over. Its not that fun.
Cold. I hate Cold too. Cold makes me fall asleep with my electric blanket on. Then i wake up really boiling. That's not fun either.
Wet. I hate Wet. Wet makes mud. Wet makes the lino floor at school slippery. Slippery floors make me fall over.
See winter is dangerous.

Winter also means i have to re-waterproof Twiggy covers. That's also not very fun.

Since when is it "Anti-Mane-and-Tail-Month"!

This is really frustrating me!
First half of Twiggy's mane goes missing. like actually completely bald!
It from her winter cover the seem-line to the neck cover rubs constantly on this area and now its rubbed it right out. So all next season is spent growing it..Again. And then when its finally looking decent again, time for the winter cover! it a vicious circle..
So today - Just to make me super angry! i get Twiggy in for a feed and find out than her tail has been chomped! Damn cows! So now her tail is all uneven!.. and i am not happy!
