Bloody horse.

GB has been a particularly G B today, including such delights as attempting to run off to find the Baby as I was putting his bridle on him*, refusing to stand still to have his rug put on (and so increasing the time it took until he was back with the Baby, absence of whom was causing the dancing around) and having to go back to the field twice before he managed to actually walk in nicely. Sigh.

(He has been - they have both been - a little difficult to bring in over the last few days: I have a ripped open finger to show for it from the other day. I decided that feet needed to be put down over it, so they're both in the control headcollars but the little shite still broke away and ran down the hill the first two times.)

(He also seems to be getting worse about being out of sight of the Baby, and I'm really not sure what I can do about that, other than buy him a pet pony. I do wonder if the trouble bringing him in is because he gets part way down the hill, forgets that the Baby is immediately behind him, realises that he can't see the Baby and panics, which sets the Baby off. The Baby's too scared to go in front, though, and I suspect that, even if he could be pursued to do so, GB would assume that the Baby was after GB's dinner and rush ahead to stop him.)

* It is tricky to then put the bridle on when you have one hand holding an ear and the other holding his nose.... Needing an ear is very much a new development.

Here, have a Christmas tree instead:
