Defluffed

I’m sure Buddy will be feeling much better for being defluffed today. It’s been so mild and he was super fluffy, he’s been getting very sweaty. You can see how much came off him!

He want the only one to get some attention today. I had part 1 of my NHS Health check and my eye test. The latter means I need new glasses. Of course. I felt my eyesight had deteriorated. My left eye is weaker than my right one now.

My eyesight is still pretty good for my age apparently. Little things huh?! As was my health check. Just got to wait for the results of the blood tests now. Either way, I can definitely see how handsome my little boy is…

Buzz cut

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?

Keep on rolling

Thought I’d give Buddy a hose down after our ride today. It’s been so warm, he was a little sweaty (as was I as I got my layers totally wrong).

Walked him out to the fields to dry off in the sunshine and he rolled! 😂 I didn’t have my phone to capture his enthusiastic rolling efforts. But here is the aftermath.

Took ages to brush the wet mud off so that I could put his rug back on. Made me laugh as he looked so happy with himself.

Sweatiest

Well it’s been a while since Buddy was sweatier after a lesson than me! First trip for Buddy over to Neric Equestrian for a jumping lesson with Lewis.

Bit of a dodgy start after Buddy took exception to the ponies behind the trees. Once we’d worked through that (and burnt off the excess energy someone had), we worked really nicely and jumped everything asked.

Jumping really is my favourite thing to do.

Good job Buddy’s next clip is booked in. It’s still so mild. It’s November, right?!
