With lockdown still ongoing I really wanted to do something fun. Our options are limited at the moment and that’s fine. We’re luckier than most with lovely fields to be in and horses to care for. But I was still craving a bit of variety. Hence on Sunday morning I got up before Dan made a picnic and declared it Pony picnic day.
We had sandwiches, cake, cookies, fruit, orange juice and crisps while the ponies had carrots, apples for bobbing, Baileys tasty treats and ‘pony squash’ (Aqua aide electrolyte in their water bucket). We took out books and a blanket into the field and enjoyed an hour of relaxing in the sunshine with the horses.
We discovered Qantas likes cheese and pickle, Azid is relentless when it comes to breaking into treat buckets, Tissy is happy just to relax, the geldings would like to learn to read and lying down with your horse is one of the most wonderful experiences ever!
