gaaah silly pony lost a shoe! why do they always do it when you are really looking forward to riding! and i missioned it up in the pouring rain as well. never mind. walked him around the school for about 20 mins so he didnt stiffen up-old man, bless- which was fine minus a shoe, cos sandschool surface was ok, and thankfully not to much of a bog after all the rain.

so spent lots of time having cuddles and grooming, and had a chat with my instructor about him. he was awfully pleased with himself for getting a day off! proper smug he looked when i got there. hopefully the farrier will be up by tuesday, if not will spend the time giving him a bath and poshing him up a bit!
