All eyes on the 'G' man.

Didnt get time to ride yesterday as my dad came to fit a dog flap in my back door at home..It turned out to be a real faff on as the door is PVC and the flap was slightly too big to fit in the moulded door panel so needed trimming down and because its plastic and brittle it kept cracking.Eventually we got it in and mmmm well its too blumming small for my dogs...oh I was mad! Buster and Minx will go through it,Buster bursts through it and has already pulled the door off once.Mouse the little princess wont use it full stop even with me bribing her with food and then holding it open and lifting her through what felt like a million times!Im sure she's not a terrier she hates mud,cold,wet,doesnt hunt and waits for you to open gates as she couldnt possibly squeeze under.
Anyway ive bought a bigger flap and ordered a new,unmoulded panel for the door.Luckily M's hubby works at a PVC window/door firm so they'll fit the flap for me and i'll get it cheap:)


Plan today was to do a short lunge/rope work session with AliG then ride Polo for a quickie as I was going to help my friend trim her horses.
As usual the school was full so had decided to ride Polo then see if the school was free afterwards.I cant moan about the school cos im not on that yard and even though our YO is jealous and a complete c#w to the other YO he was nice enough to say we can use his school but I dont like to take the mick so only go in if none of his liveries are using it.
Anyway Jo arrived and asked if I wanted to join her for a ride along with her little girl and the dinky loan pony.Well I thought Ali would probably be better suited to going as Polo walks quite fast and the poor pone might struggle plus he'd probably be more sensible so like all best laid plans the ground work idea went out the window:)))
On the way out some people from the other yard set off on a hack at the same time so AliG was very perky and bouncy wanting to catch them.Ive found Ali is much better when he's infront cos as soon as he goes behind he starts to dawdle so he led the whole ride.He had a little uncertain moment at the sheep he hesitated,stopped to have a look and think then continued on perfectly calmly.Further along the lane there was a loose sheep running around so Jo got off to open a gate to its field(it took off down the lane running!) I held her daughter on the lead rein while she did this..so at 3 AliG is a lead pony,not bad eh!:)
On the way back the sheep was running along infront of us all the way trying to find a way back into its field,they really are silly animals, anyway it helped Ali with his sheep puzzlement,he kept speeding up trying to catch the thing im sure he was trying to 'get' it in the end.
By the time we got back,after all the faffing with the sheep I didnt have time to ride Polo they both got fed then turned out..sure he wasnt too disappointed:))

Tomorrow im meeting the girl who's got Buster's brother at the beach so i'll try and get some pics of them,then hopefully riding Polo.
