Repaired just in time

I have to say Mum is not doing too badly - she's a bit slow - ok she's VERY slow at the moment. It took her an hour to muck out half of Zippy's stable this morning. In the end she had to come down again in the evening and spent another two hours sorting it out. I must say it does look very lovely but she was too exhausted to do mine properly, so I have to wait until tomorrow for the same star treatment.

To make it up to me she stood and combed my mane with spray and pig oil - it's gleaming now, evidently with all the frost she thought it might stay shiny for a while. Lets see what tomorrow brings!

It's so exciting we have gone all posh again, hay in haynets instead of on the floor, water buckets cleaned out everyday even when the green snake has got so cold it doesn't want to spit any more. The downside to this is Mum collecting water from her bathroom, which with a repairing poorly fetlock is quiet impressive. She has swapped her rolling chair for a rolling barrow to move the containers around in - but it's got a flat tyre - maybe she should go get the rolling chair back, it looked ideal for this job. Just glad Mum is back in time to manoeuvre all the water for us!

I'm not sure about our latest treat though, breakfast and dinner have had desert included - carrot lolly pops! Oh well, personally I think these would be better in the summer, but they must have been in special out of season offer as we are getting loads! Muleteers please take note, like you we are fed proper pony food!

More apples please....
