exceptionally, i decided to go lunge molly in the afternoon, on the grounds that partner is always out tuesday evenings, i'd be back by 5 and do more then.. so guess who walked in at 5.30 or so? and then ate my tea! but i carried on working anyway....
anyway, Gaynor had an unexpected child free afternoon so said, why did i not go down and we'd go work the horses? so i did, and given the lack of people in the main yard, we went over there to use the arena.
now that was exciting, getting there.
you go across the bridge and ther'es a paddock on your left with two horses in it.
charlie grew 3 inches.
molly wanted tot alk to the grey which put it's head over the fence (and bear in mind there's cars behind us at this point, and a blind bend ahead...)
then chestnut came tearing over, spooked molly who pushed me aside and ended up on the other side of the road..i was lucky not to get knocked over, luckily i wasn't and thank goodness nothing coming the other way
apparently charlie had to be circled before he reared..
so that was a shade entertaining, not!
but once we got to the arena, molly at least settled and was starting to seek the bit - I'd put the bitted bridle in, and the side reins very loose - she looked good for a few circuits, once she'd decided to work!
home by 5.15, just
but bad me... when i went to make her tea - I'd forgotten that the original plan invovled going the feed store .... had enough top spec for tonight, but not for tomorrow, so i may be having a scoop of gaynor's mix tomorrow...
and with being earlier than I'd planned, i wasn't there when the people (hopefully!) turned up with the joint supplement.. hope they dropped it off!

Sometimes the timing just doesn't work out, does it? Not too keen on their behavior going over to the arena, but once you were there, it seems it was well worth the trip. Good for Molly seeking some contact!
Hope the feed situation sorts itself out tomorrow.
Gosh that sounds hairy on the road Claire but glad everyone was OK, they'll get used to it in time.
