This is me before the clippers and Mum did her work.
And this is me after......
Very handsome I think.
Now I know it's a little controversial but Mum clipped half me head too. She was impressed because she was working on her own and I even bent my neck away from her so she could get all the difficult bits. I stood VERY still while she did my whiskers etc. I have to say I like me new look, plus when Mum did my bridle up she didn't catch my beard because it had gone - very happy.
Now time to test the clip out. Loaded up into the box on wheels we headed off to Circencester Park for a fun ride and jumping with my friend Phoneix and her owner Caroline. It was a 10 mile ride, Mum asked me to jump some of the jumps, and she was very impressed with me as I had started to get the hang of this and I jumped every jump first time, no run outs - ok some were nearly from a standstill, but I got over all of the jumps first time. It was a lovely day and I'm certainly glad I had my haircut, Phoneix was very hot and sweaty when we finished. My saddle area was sweaty but I had cooled down by the time we got to the trailer.
Mum and I stood watching various humans trying to get their horses back into their box on wheels. I'm glad Mum is not like some of them. Some of my poor equines were terrified being beaten with whips and hose pipes, it's no wonder they didn't want to go in. We did watch a lovely lady quietly and patiently using her Parelli tool kit and her natural horsemanship skills to persuade her horse in and he got a good rub on the haunches as a reward, scrummy. It's a shame not all humans stand in our hooves for a day, I'm sure they wouldn't want to do things if they were 'persuaded' by being hit!
Mums been to Wales to see the boys so I will need to give you all an update.
Now I have go faster stripes Zippy and I have been tucked up in our lightweight winter rugs in the back garden as rain is forecast, but only after a yummy tea 😃 feeling very 'cool' 😉
You always look stunning Cyril.
