Weekend's are for meeting family

Zippy and I were off again in the box on wheels, this time it turned out we were on a family visit to check out how Katy is doing in her new home.

It's a very busy yard with lots going on. As soon as we arrived a pony came rushing towards us, nothing on, obviously keen to make friends.  Mum found a spare rope and put it round his neck and took him back to some people who looked like they had lost a pony! Wow what a welcome.

Kay arrived and she seemed pleased to see me, I'm not so sure that Zippy was too chuffed at seeing her again!  Well we were all tacked up and headed out.  Katy seems to be doing very well, she has been doing a lot of hacking out on her own, so we hope she enjoyed our company for a change.

She took us down to the River Thames for a swim (well paddle).  Katy and Zippy jumped straight in, wading around and splashing! Me, errr oh no have you seen how big the puddle was.  It was so big there were cars without wheels running along it. I was NOT going in, way too scary!  I didn't want to follow even after Zippy and Katy were having so much fun, eventually I put a toe in the water, only after a lot of reversing up and down the bank.  Hmmmmm think it is going to take a bit more time to get as confident as Zippy and Katy were.


Tony was riding Zippy and did a good job of keeping her under control.  After the attempted swim we went for a hack around the fields - much more my scene!  We had a great time.  Afterwards to say thank you Katy and I had a good groom.


Mum says its Katy's love of grooming that means she now only has half a mane!  I still love her just as she is, after all she is my big half sister.  I hope we can come back and visit soon.  Thank you Katy and Sarah for a lovely ride, see you again soon xxx

  1. What a lovely pic of you and Katy. It's nice when you are loved. She looks so pleased to see you. Lucky boy.
    I am hoping Storm is coming home today sometime. Can't wait for my hugs and grooms.
