Short And Sharp!

No - it's OK, I just didn't have time for a long ride this morning, as I had just heard my brother and family were going to be at my place by noon.

So, I brought him in and gave him a good groom - something I can't neglect this time of year.  Sadly his throat is very sore - he has actually managed to rub down to bare skin over his scar ... so had to use calomine on him!

Then Toni and Smudge & DJ and I just went up the road and back.

Lovely to ride and chat ... and just get back as the rain started.  Then time for a quick feed before out to his field with his hay, and I had to sprint home!

Poor boy. I guess he's finding it itchy?

Yes, as he is growing his new Spring coat and the winter one is going, he does always have a tough couple of weeks.

It's a hard time when they shed their winter fur though. Poor boy!

Yes - hard work for me - and where he has a scar on his throat due to Strangles 5 years ago, it really itches ... But birds building their nests have a nice warm lining for their beds!
