General disgusting things and horses

It's got cold enough this week to put the horses in overnight for the winter. My hands are rough already! They're both bedded down on wood shavings instead of straw this year to try and control Kaz's cough. I'm not entirely sure how to muck out a shavings bed so this morning was spent picking up small pieces of poo with rubber gloves wondering how on earth you're supposed to do it without taking 23949028 hours. Hmmm. I think we need to get a shavings fork.

I rode Kaz yesterday and she was dripping with sweat by the time we got back. I daren't get on Oscar - I'm frightened that his riding days have come to an end. He's pretty much lame all the time now and he looks like such an old man. Maybe I'll try and get on him the weekend after the con (OMG next weekend!)

I found a huge spider in the hay barn yesterday. It was almost as big as my palm with its legs outstretched. Not that I picked it up with my hands - I just coaxed it on to a pair of scissors to try and take a photo that didn't come out.

When we got home from the field this afternoon there was dog sick everywhere. I'm not sure why but it was the most unpleasant sick I've ever had the misfortune to come across. Nice. And now I'm going to go and watch Nip/Tuck before I traumatise you any further.
