Unless I missed it, I don't think we had a weekend thread so thought it might be a nice way to ease the Monday blues by re-living the weekend
What did we get up to?
Friday evening my OH & I just took the dogs to my local (as my parents were away on holiday).
I had a fairly quiet weekend horse-wise as a combination of Pete being bitten (again .... ) by flies and OH staying meant that I didn't ride. Pete had the trimmer out this weekend (we changed about 3 months ago - which is quite a big deal, as I've struggled to get farrier's to work with him so voluntarily getting rid of a barefoot trimmer feels a very risky move ...!) but he was so good & for the first time in months, he was able to have all 4 feet trimmed
Then I topped up my tan in the afternoon by ragwort pulling & fence mending & OH and I went for dinner & drinks in the evening.
Sunday morning, I did Pete's chores & OH and I went for a bike ride on the Downs (naturally a circular route going by a pub or two ..!) and then I jumped Pete on the lunge.
Dad is hopefully going to put up a stall guard in his stable, so I can put him out at night from tomorrow or Wednesday to prevent him being bitten by insects so quite so much ...! Then fingers crossed, normal ridden service can resume - although it's tricky as he's such a good doer/has had laminitis in the past I'm worried about his waistline too on extra grass!
