Welcome to blog! I started it in 2020 to chart my recovery from breaking my ankle (hence the name). I guess no-one saw a global pandemic coming. It's turned into a place where I can talk about the things happening in my life, my horse and my cats. Enjoy!
Buddy finally had his first clip today. I’ve had to put it back twice as he didn’t have much to clip! It’s been so mild that he’s been getting a bit sweaty. So glad he’s done.
Clipping with Buddy has been quite the journey. He’s gone from histrionics to mild indifference. We were reminiscing about some of his antics. He’s rather ticklish so he’s still expressive. He still doesn’t like his ears or face doing. But for the most part, he was a really good boy for Beki.
Doesn’t he look smart?
Buddy had another haircut today. His first clip had grown out so quickly. He got very sweaty during our lessons on Tuesday. Thankfully Melanie was able to come out and do him this morning.
So much hair came off him. In fact I think more came off this time than the first time he was clipped.
Doesn’t he look super handsome?!
The woolly mammoth that was Buddy is no more!! Doesn’t he look sexy all clipped? And shiny after a hot towel off too.
The weather has been so mild, I haven’t needed to get him clipped. But his coat has grown so much in the past few weeks, it needed to be done. He was a right sweaty betty (or should that be Buddy) after our lesson last week. And was overheating on Sunday. He should be feeling much better now.
Time to break out the rugs as we’re bound to have a cold snap now. I love the feel of a freshly clipped horse. So soft.
Someone is looking rather sexy after his clip. I love it when he’s first clipped. He’s so soft.
Clipping with Buddy has been a bit of a journey. He’s not always been a fan to say the least. Today, he got a gold star from Auntie Beki. He got a big kiss and a hug from her as he was the best he’s ever been!
It wasn’t just Buddy who got chopped today. I had my first professional haircut for nearly two years. Feeling much lighter for it too.
A proper pamper day! Much needed too.
It was Buddy’s second clip today. And by far the best to date. He was so much more relaxed than he has been.
He seemed more interested in his haynet than the clippers. He got a bit towel off afterwards so was positively shining!
I love him when he’s freshly clipped. His fur feels so soft. Let’s see how long he stays clean for…
