I'm pleased to say that, other than being a bit bored, GB seems to be much better. Admittedly, he's still on anti-inflamatories, but his leg seems to be going back to normal. He has another few days off, and then I'll try getting on him. I may have to take the superglue (actually, I may just get the sidesaddle out: see if you can make me fall out of that, you bugger).
He has seemed rather bemused, this week: I keep going to see him, getting him in from the field, grooming him, completely failing to ride him, letting him have some grass and then putting him back into the field. It's all very odd. I enlivened this a few days ago by lunging him. Well, trying to. I managed to get a trot out of him, but he's never really been very good at lunging, and when I tried to get a canter he just sped up and trotted really really fast until I got dizzy and gave up. Hours, or at least twenty minutes, of entertainment for everyone else on the yard!
Last night, we failed to see Charlie's Aunt at the Mernier, on account of migraine.
Today, we went to the South Of England showground's Game Fair, which was (at least as far as we were concerned) unique and unusual as a Game Fair due to the complete and utter absence of any game products whatsoever. The nearest thing was a stall selling farmed duck; we were bemused, having expected to come away with a boot full of meat to freeze. Nice day out in the sun, even so, and I got to watch the Flying Foxes, a sidesaddle display team, as well as looking at things like leeks that would in fact feed a family of four for a week. I have to wonder what they do with the ones that aren't perfect enough to show.... |
