from fast horses to heavy horses



Today the Blonde bird is doing the horses, so when I got up I just had to prepare a picnic lunch and make sure I had plenty of water for the dog to drink, as, together with Flower and Lizzie , Lit'lun, the dog and I are off to the heavy horse event. I picked Lizzie and Flower up en route and we were soon wandering round the stalls, I bumped into some friends who I had worked alongside with the dog for SuSaR. We got chatting about it they have changed rescue group and suggested I bring the dog along again. We wandered on and I got some lovely home made jams, a Rhubarb one and a Loganberry one, can't wait to have toast now! While we were all watching the horse displays the dog got quite hot, so I found a hose and hosed her off, she loved it! At lunch time we all went to find a shady spot to have our picnic. The dog sat happily chewing a stick while we had lunch then after putting the cool box back in the car we all had an ice cream. About 4 times during out day out we had to top up the sun cream, especially on Flower as her skin is so fair, Lizzie bought her a sun hat early on and she wore it for most of the time. While we were walking round we came across a Jack Russell terrier that was the image of our little one who was bitten by an adder two years ago and sadly died, I have never seen one that looked so much like him, it upset both Lit'lun and I a bit. Lit'lun and Flower decided they wanted to have a ride on a cart that was being pulled by two beautiful shire horses, I just casually asked how much a set of shoes cost for one horse, the owner told me £165 every 7 to 8 weeks. (Please don't grow any more Mouse) After this we made our way back to the car and drove home, dropping Lizzie and Flower off at their house on the way.
