Bloody animal....
The horse flies have started.... I should have realised, when Ang's eyes went all manky. I've been very careful about putting his fly mask on every day, since.
Yesterday, I made an attempt to put Baby's fly mask on. He broke the baling twine the first time, and half pulled the tie-up ring out of the wall the second time.
Today, I used a different tie-up ring. When I went to spray him with fly spray and he broke the baling twine and buggered off into the field: wouldn't have been a problem except that I was going to ride him, so I had to go and get him.
When Mike rides the Baby, he sometimes struggles to get him to trot. Today, I had the same problem in the other direction.... He did go a bit bronco a few times, but his buck is almost as ineffectual as GB's, so it took me a few times before I realised.
On the other hand, I took advantage of his friskiness to run through the dressage test that I'm currently working on with GB. He didn't do too appallingly, but I wouldn't have liked to be marked for it!
