Bird for a spin today in NOT RAINING weather. Bareback pad again (working on my seat, his comfort level, etc. plus also the ground is slick and we can't do more than walk without tearing up the hayfield) which went better than yesterday. I did not get Genie the project pony out because by the time I was done with Bird, I was cold.

Bird for a spin yesterday after work. It had been drizzling lightly most of the afternoon without actually committing to rain and I skived off early from work (3:00) so that there'd be enough daylight left on the shortest day for me to take a spin on the pony. Fed Bird and Tin and The Ladies. (Cuervo didn't settle -- we finally got the pregnancy test back -- and I'm not sure what Laur's going to do about her given the ERU blindness issue but for the moment she's in Skoal's old pen with Whimsy, who is also blind. They are The Ladies and I look in on them when I'm there feeding the boys.) It was still drizzling but I am a man, not a mouse, so I groomed (smeared the mud around) Bird and threw a bareback pad on him (he is not a fan of the bareback pad) and hopped aboard with, well, a little startle but not much.

And then, before I could get out the driveway, the heavens opened. The light drizzle, which had been, was no more. Instead there was a heavy rain of the sort more suited to a late August afternoon than a winter solstice afternoon. Buggerit. So I went across the road and down into the holler and back up and home again. It was not a very lengthy ride, but it was a ride.

Bird for a spin on Sunday, in the misting cold. He was not enthused about the bareback pad situation. Neither was Tinnie, who performed a protest levade without any success. Everybody survived and the boys relaxed a little as time went on, but clearly we need more bareback pad outings for everyone's sake. No project pony work as the mud was very muddy.
