guess what i found?

that's right, the phone i lost last friday... doh. I have a tyre in the stable into which goes Molly's feed dish... it had fallen into that, inside the rim, and clearly i therefore didn't hear it fall .. and it was the last place i thought to look. I found it because i actually picked the tyre up to muck out the stable...

Anyway, lunged Molly. She's becoming a nightmare to get the bit into her mouth...managed it eventually, but it was a bit of a struggle...due the tooth person end of july, appointment already made, but she gets checked every 6 so i can't see how anything too bad can have gone wrong in that time..

anyway, once we got that in, she worked very nicely, I was pleased with her. Tried some canter, but that's not so clever .. surface a bit too deep in places.

can see her muscles working in the right places!

and she'd been in since 10.30 - i got a text at 1 asking if i wanted her turned out again! i said not, since i would then have struggled to get her back in again, but hadn't known she wasin ... chap with the other 2 mares obviously came down early today! i could have gone down then as well had i known...ah well.

So can you still use the phone or is it shut off, never to be revived?

Maybe Molly was making some calls over dinner...might check your bill for strange charges. *lol*

Good for you trying canter!! Things are progessing well, then. Good going.

Oh, what a pain you've found your phone now that you ordered a new one! Isn't that always the way though...

Great to hear about cantering, shame about the arena surface hampering your efforts.

For a difficult horse I once leased I dipped the bit in sugar before bridling and it worked wonders! Some people give a sugar cube after bridling but then they are so wiggly looking for the sugar that I hit upon dipping the bit.
