No play on Saturday, Bonny had toothache! We had to rush to the tack shop for some pain relief for her, got some great stuff from global herbs.
As it was so hot I thought I would give her a bath instead of playing, spa day Cathy calls it ;o) but no she wasn't happy about that, she didn't want her legs touching and definitely didn't want to be rinsed off! and I had to flush her mouth out with hibi-scrub.... I was thinking she'll hate me now! when I let her go she stomped off to the dustiest place she could find and rolled, and rolled, and rolled! After lots of snorting, stamping and rolling she came back to mug me for treats.... do you think she still loves me?

Sunday, very hot again, so we had a very short play session. Only a little bit of trotting to check she was moving ok, then lots of stick to me, sideways over barrels, dragging the tarp behind me, playing with hula hoop and standing on the pedestal. Bonny was just plodding around so I thought I'd jump on bareback, now it's been a while since I rode bareback, I'd forgotten how different it feels. While I was trying to fix my seat Bonny was trying to bite my foot and I found myself really tense, squeezing with my legs uummm how interesting! when I relaxed Bonny stopped walking straight away, love my horse :o) Threw the rope over her head a few times then got off. With the heat from Bonny as well, I was so damn hot! lots of treats, then I let her go back to munching the grass.
