I have to admit it started out a pretty rotten week, I was beginning to think she-who-brings-carrots had forgotten about me but no such luck! I do like all the yummy things and cuddles but I’m still not keen on this hard work thing!

On Thursday she came to see me and we went for a walk. This walking out thing is getting really quite boring you know! Yet again we went over the metal things, down the road and around the running in circles thing for the metal things. I made sure I kept an eye out for monsters to keep she-who-brings-carrots on her toes but it was easy really I just don’t want her to get bored.

When we got home she was getting me ready to go in the field but then pulled this white thing from behind her back and tried to put it in my mouth! There was no way that was happening (I hate things being near my mouth) so I tried to get back to my friends. Apparently I ‘had to get used to it’ so she-who-brings-carrots started by having in the hoof she was holding me and and rubbed my mouth with the other one. Once I decided that wasn’t scary she did it with the white thing in her hand. Once I worked out that wasn’t scary either I let her put it in my mouth. As it turns out it wasn’t that bad at all, opps!

On Friday it was raining lots again and she-who-brings-carrots did exactly that. She came to see me, we had a cuddle and she gave me a carrot then the others butted in and she went again. She didn’t look like she normally does either.

The following day was very busy as everyone was doing lots of jobs and there were lots of metal things driving around. She-who-brings-carrots still didn’t look right and I can’t say I’m complaining. She made me look pretty then we got all dressed up (complete with yellow thing on my bum) and we just went for a really short walk. As much fun as it is to go out I could get used to the easy life!

Today she was obviously starting to get back to her normal self, as I had to do some hard work. Somebody had moved everything out of the way and made a straight line and some corners where I normally have to run round in circles. She made me stay inside this box shape and do lots of stopping and starting AND lots of trotting. We didn’t do it for very long because I get bored but I must have done something right as I was trotting along then stood still when she told me to and I got lots of pats and she called me a clever pony. Best of all I got to stop!

Better get all the food I can before she comes back tomorrow, night all!
