Stupid Horse

[odycee]

I am slightly wet and very muddy. I went out for a ride this morning and thought I'd go all the way to the other side of the park which I don't normally do because I don't have enough time. It was only drizzling a little bit and I didn't have to rush back for anything so why not? Ha. Oscar seemed to go lame right when I was at the other side so I got off to have a look and found he'd thrown a shoe. I had to go back and look for it where I thought he'd gone lame and I found it embedded in some muddy grass where he'd shied at a plastic bag. He's not very good without his front shoes on because of the navicular so with only one shoe on he was really bad. That meant I had to walk all the way back with a prat of a horse pulling me all the way. I took a short-cut down a footpath and it only took me about forty minutes but I'm knackered now as that was forty minutes walking at Oscar speed.

Now I've got to go back down to the field as someone is coming to deliver some straw. It means I'm going to miss some auctions closing on ebay for some Discworld books I wanted. Bugger.

Is there anything else I can think to moan about? Erm... I smell like horse wee because there's no point in getting changed. My arm hurts from holding Oscar and my legs are slightly damp. But I have just had a bacon sandwich so it's not all bad.

Oscar makes everyone laugh until he bites their laughing head off their shoulders and stamps on the remains. Don't say I didn't warn you. I'm fully convinced that he pulled his own shoe off just to spite me. We have a love/hate relationship - I love him and he hates me.

Love that icon!
