Heaven ... Well Sir's Version!!
Tuesday, April 8th, 2008 04:29 pmI didn't ride today - I am trying to be really good about my hand and as I had to go to orchestra yesterday (we have a concert in a couple of months) and ought to go to Band on Friday (we have a concert in 6 weeks - and I didn't go last Friday so I could watch Torchwood!) So, thought my hand had enough punishment at present ... although I am riding tomorrow (just don't warn Sir!)
Anyway - I went to see him ... well, that's also a stretch of the truth - But, again, don't tell him!
I went to Toni's because it is their wedding anniversary and they have gone out for the day, so they wanted me to let their dog, Kai, out so he could ....!!!!!
While there I also fed her 3 horses, as (unlike DJ) they are on supplementary feeds.
So, I walked out to see DJ and as I said he was in Heaven.
It had rained that morning so the ground (and him) were muddy ... now the sun was out. I came over, gave him a couple of carrots, itched the nd of his nose and then left him to himself ... yay ... eat, roll and play!
Hope he remembers his lazy day when I go to get him tomorrow!

Date: 2008-04-10 07:58 am (UTC)He was rising 3 at the time ... and still un-cut and it was the first time he had his feet trimmed by the farrier, Richard (who we had then) I hadn't seen DJ for some weeks so Toni asked if I wanted to call over so I could see him ... reminding me not to wear any perfumes as he was a Stallion!!
DJ was having his back feet done and Richard, Toni and I were hatting - Richard asked how DJ got his name. Toni explained ... and the look that DJ and Richard exchanged was priceless .... Richard looked at DJ's undercarriage and looked at DJ and they both seemed to grimace .....
DJ = Deborah Jacqueline !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes - honest!!
Sorry boy - but you have my name! He belongs to Toni - but his Mum was on loan to her when she went to a famly funeral - left me with12 horses (and her 2 girls) and returned to 134 horsews!! He was an unexpected arrival - So he is my namesake and I have known him all his life - My Mum said Toni was mad, cos that would mean he would turn out to be as mad as I am!!!!
His registered name for his passport is Cheeko D Chento
