Vidock and Violette Vendredi


Vidock: Studly neighs, everyone! Remember last week, when I didn't really have anything much to tell you? Well! What a difference a week makes!

First of all, I was brought in from my field one afternoon and told I had to be ready for when the farrier comes to trim my hooves next week. So, I had a reminder course on how to give my feet properly and elegantly:


Then, they put a saddle on me and took me out to the schooling ring. You know the one that Tommy swam in a few days ago????


I heard them mumbling about my not "having done anything" for six months, so I thought I would show them:

"Big V - Rodeo Star"

And then, Ms. C got on my back!


Do I look handsome or what? The weather people have promised us a whole week of no rain, starting today, so I am told that this is "TBC". Apparently, that stands for "To Be Continued"!


Violette: Pretty neighs, everyone! Boy was there a lot of splashing going on when "Big V" was in the schooling ring...

Anyway, I am told that "my turn will come" and we shall see how that goes. In the meantime, #1 and I had some fun playing with reflections (what else do you do with all that water, I ask you?).

This is me!


and again...



Like so:


And a close-up (the right way up) for good measure:


Have a great weekend!

  4. We are hoping for a week of dry weather too and the sun is lovely today. Violette we hope it will be less muddy when you go the schooling ring although we understand mud is supposed to do wonders for the complexion!
    Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx

  17. Vidock you really kicked up your heals in the ring. Good thing you didn't do that when Ms. C got on your back.

    I sure hope the weather peeps are right and you have a dry week.
