Yesterday Mum took me on a brilliant ride!! Except i didn't know how great it was going to be until towards the end so i ried to get home for the first 45 minutes, Mum said it was called 'napping' except i thought that's when you go to sleep! Brooke didn't come with us, i think Brooke's in a bad mood with me because a couple of days ago i was annoying her by making faces at her and then she suddenly turned round and almost bit my nose off!! Mum's little sister rode me for a while, she's nicer than Mum because she just sits there and doesn't make me do stuff. We went to see Mum's old piano teacher, her whole family came out and they were all patting me, it was great! I gave a little girl a ride as well, she was so happy, i don't think she's ever been on a horse before in her life! Mum took me along by Baxter's Loan after that and we went for a gallop....YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!! I got to bolt right up a big field, it was so much fun!! Mum galloped me into the sunset, she said it felt like we were in a movie or a book because we were galloping across a field with grass higher than my knees and the light was really pretty because of the sunset. Mum was so pleased with me because i listened to her and stopped when i was supposed to and stuff. When we got home i got lots of hay and then got to og back to my field, i rolled for a while and got really grassy, Mum just laughed, i thought she was going to tell me off because she's goingt o have to clean me up today!

First she goes off and leaves me alone for 10 days whilst she’s on some exotic holiday, THEN she comes home and gets upset when I kick her and THEN, you won’t believe this, she calls me fat and sticks me in a “starvation paddock”. A starvation paddock!! Do I look like I need a starvation paddock?! Well?! Exactly, the answer is NO. I DO NOT need a starvation paddock. Mum was trying to tell me it’s only called a starvation paddock, I’m not really going to starve, what does she know? She goes home to a nice warm meal every evening, gets a good breakfast in the morning and has chips for lunch. Wanna know what I get? Zilch. Nothing. Rien. Nichts. Niente. íè÷åãî. Nada. Niets. BUGGER ALL!!! I am NOT a happy pony right now. And if she thinks she’s taking me to a Pony Club rally on Saturday, she can forget it! Not only does it involve going into a trailer, it involves doing work ALL day. Whatever gave her the idea that I would do a whole day’s work? That’s about all the news really. Basically Mum is an evil cow with some plan in her head which is 10 times more evil than she is!!
Anyway, I’m going to go now, back to my lovely starvation paddock. Bye.
P.S. There’ll be another entry soon, Cruela DeVil is making me do it every week. Oh joy. Can’t wait.
PP.S. Mum, Chloe, Barley, Hector, Charlie, Joss and Me are off to have a field meeting now, will report on it next time i'm forced to write.

Hello, sorry that i haven't written you an update in so long. I've been very busy! Quite a lot has happened so i should probably start from where i left off :)
I don't know if Mum's already told you this, but.....WE'RE NOT MOVING!! :D YAY!! I'm so happy, I'm glad Mum came to her senses and didn't take me to a new place.
I've been being a bit of a pain for the last few days (ok, weeks!) but it's just because i couldn't be bothered with schooling. I mean, what is the point in walking round in circles?! Honestly, you humans, you're absolutely bonkers! But now Jonquil has started giving Mum lessons on me and I have to work sooooo hard :( Yesterday Mum rode me for an hour and we did lots of proper fancy stuff like bending and tracking up and serpentines and stuff. Today Mum got another lesson and she made me do lots of stuff that we did yesterday AND she made me canter! I didn't mind charging up the hill, that was fun, but i don't like going round in circles in canter. After the lessons i had to get washed down because i was all hot and sweaty, it was funny seeing Jonquil and Mum getting all wet :P Hmmmm, what else is there to say? Oh, yeah, Steven and Jonquil both really like me and Steven said i was "promising", i don't know what that means but I'll check with wise old Hector and get back to you ;)
Alistair is coming tomorrow because i lost my shoe again, Mum says I've got to be better behaved because i was being silly when i was nasty to Alistair.
I think that's everything. I can't think of anything else to tell you!

Had another day off today, but i found out that Mum hasn't forgotten how to ride! She was riding Charlie in his little paddock today. Today was another funny weather day, maybe Mr. Weather Man is sick and can't do his job properly. Mum came up to see me at half past two and it was lovely and sunny when i saw the car pull up but as soon as Mum started walking up the field a HUUUUUUUUGE hail storm started and it felt like lots of little needles poking me! Mum was very wet when she came up. She came over to me but i wouldn't talk to her because i was in a bad mood, but then she started rubbing my ears and i gave her a big kiss because it was so nice :D Barley was being a bully again, he tried to bite me today and Mum gave him a tap on the neck and said "No", she was nice to him after that though because he decided to be a good boy...i don't know why she was nice to him...he's horrible and he makes me cry :'( Mum told me that we're moving, she says we're going to a nice place where they have stables and jumps and lots of nice riding. It sounds ok i suppose. But I'm going to miss my friends Chloe, Hector and Charlie. Mum says we can come and visit them though so it'll be ok.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!! Another day without having a horrible saddle put on me and being made to walk around in circles :D i think Mum might have forgotten how to ride, she hasn't ridden me in ages! The last time was when her funny friends Flick and Ash came to see me, they were nice to me so i was very well behaved and i let them ride me. Today wasn't a very nice day weather-wise though, it kept raining and then being sunny and then raining again and then being sunny, The Weatherman must be a bit confused today, Mum's friend said he's probably drunk! Talking of Mum, I'm not in a very good mood with her because she didn't come up and see me until 4 o'clock >:( but I'm not too mad at her because she gave me a good rub behind the ears AND when Barley was being a big bully Mum chased him away so that he wouldn't bite me :D Go Mum! Go Mum!
