Why do I get all the blame for everything - I'm the soul of dissgr..dizgrech..... oh stud holes! you know what I mean anyway! I CAN keep a secret if I really have to. I'm feeling rather full having been on the new grass. My mum says it makes me silly, and I cant have too much to start with. Don't know what she means. Cant get much sillier than her after drinking the bottle of champagne I won her at the dressage champs the other week. And to cap it all, I got a smacked bottom at the weekend - honestly, one minute she wants me to bounce around the dressage arena like anky wotserface, but if I do it out on a hack its wrong! I cant help it if the hedges are full of killer pheasants (they're all full of themselves now the shooting season has finished. Just you wait till next autumn HAHA!) I had a week off the other week - mum said that huntings finished now, and I needed a break... god I was sooo bored! I had a really nice session with a lady who did things to my muscles and back which made me feel lovely and bouncy, but I didn't actually get to go anywhere. Whats the point of a holiday if you don't go anywhere? Anyway Ruby, if you get to go AWOL again, just pop up to my box - I have the most JUCIEST piece of gossip about Lawrence Lewellyn-wotsit in the box opposite. He toldd me (in confidence) that he once.... ooo I really shouldn't say - I did promise him I wouldn't tell anyone.......Tee-hee!!!!!!!!!x Hey!

Good to see you blogging again. I had a bit of a fright the other night. Went for an unaccompanied wander round the yard to catch up on things (silly owners had left my door open), tip-toed over to say hello to you and was amazed to find you'd grown and changed colour! Bit confusing really seeing as you look your usual self in the field. Anyway, that would explain it, it was Bob that I had brief chat with before I was recaptured. Just about managed to introduce myself! I think mum is having delusions of grandeur dragging me off jumping to this new person. She's very local and is a nice lady really. Says she's got me "sussed" whatever that means. Hasn't got me that "sussed" as I still managed to eject mum on one of our lessons. Ha. It's good fun pretending to be (ooops I mean being) terrified of these funny filler things they expect us to jump. I got found out yesterday though. Of course I'd been telling Chloe about how easy this jumping lark was and how I was sailing over 1.30 oxers and they only took both of us for a lesson yesterday didn't they? I had to tell Chloe I'd only jumped so small yesterday so as to spare her blushes by showing her how easy it is ... Talking of embarrassment I did hear about your big score at dressage the other week. Between you and me, Percy is most put out about it. He whispered it to Chloe over the fence, who, despite swearing to him she'd not tell a soul, let slip to me as I am her bestest friend and I told the whole yard. Ha ha ha!!!! Don't tell him it was me though. Pip's getting the blame for gossiping at the moment. Anyway, off for a kip now. I am a bit tired after my jumping lesson this weekend (had to jump a water tray - I've done them before but like to pretend they are soooo scarey), plus dad took me for a hack and we had a canter in a big field which was nice. Oh and I hear a rumour we may be in the summer fields tomorrow so if I have a rest now I should have enough energy to yee ha all over the place tomorrow. Love Ruby Hi
