Hello all, Luna here again. She-who-brings-carrots is sleepy so I’ve yet again been left to update this. I might carry on doing all the typing though, I quite like it.

This week has been a busy week. On Tuesday she-who-brings-carrots came to make me do the running in circles thing again. We went to the riding bit instead of where she normally makes me do it and there was lots of things which were reealllllyyyyy scary so I made sure I kept my eye on everything. After a while she made me stand still and told me I was ‘a silly tart’. How rude! Then, she made me walk towards the monsters! I’m really beginning to question her sanity you know, she even climbed over the monster and made me follow her. I made sure I went really quick so it couldn’t eat me. She laughed and said that ‘it’s only a cross pole’ and that ‘I’d better get used to them’ so she made me keep following her until I stopped going over it really fast. Turns out it wasn’t a monster and it was really quite fun. We went for a walk to cool down and went down the path that my friends live down. She-who-brings-carrots was talking about parties with my friends carrot-bringers. I like them they tell me how lovely I am.

On Thursday she came again only this time she put the straps on so I had to work properly instead of being nosey. I’m not impressed with this working hard thing you know. It seriously cuts into my eating time!

That brings us to the weekend. She-who-brings-carrots turned up REALLY early on Saturday and we got dressed up ready to go out. We didn’t go the normal way though and I wasn’t sure what was going on. We had to walk up a hill and at the top I could see lots of those metal things going underneath. It was very odd! I stood and had a look while she told me how amazing I am then we carried on. We walked down the track and onto the metal things track. I wasn’t sure I liked going this way on my own so I made sure I kept a look out for monsters. We went as far as a scary looking gate then she let me turn around. I could relax a little bit then cause I hadn’t seen any monsters the first time around. We walked back over the hill with the metal things underneath then when we got back I had to do more work! How mean is she-who-brings-carrots. To add insult to injury we cantered but she didn’t ask me properly so I got a bit confused then when we stopped she got off and didn’t look like her normal self. I was a bit worried she might have colic or something so I gave her a good sniff but she seemed ok after a little while. Once we’d got undressed she got all the brushes out and gave her a beauty session. She even pulled some of my hair out. I didn’t mind it at all though; I like people paying lots of attention.

Today it was a bit snowy to start with but it had nearly all gone when she finally turned up. She gave me lots of attention and let me eat from the big pile of hay for a little bit, then he-who-brings-mints turned up and gave she-who-brings-carrots her boots. He didn’t have anything yummy for me though, she’s obviously not finished training him. We got dressed up and then we went to the riding place again. We did lots of walking and trotting then we had a little canter again. This time she wasn’t such a numpty and it was lots of fun. I managed to go even further than last time and she stopped me instead of me stopping because I couldn’t keep going. I’m starting to quite like this cantering malarkey. He-who-brings-mints then left and we carried on. We did some more circles in walk and trot and went over those round things on the ground then finished for the day.

Apparently someone’s coming to see me soon which sounds very exciting. I hope they bring something yummy. She-who-brings-carrots seems very excited about it so it must be bad news but I like meeting new people so I’ll keep an open mind. She’s said she’s going to come and see me even more this week. I do like the carrots but I’m not sure it’s worth the hard work. See you all again next week.
