Violette and Vidock Vendredi


Violette: Pretty Neighs, Every Friend! Do you remember me? I have been keeping a low profile recently as The Big V has been hogging the limelight with his fancy schoolwork! But I am doing well and enjoying a bit of a rest and socialising with all my friends over here. You know, there is nothing more conducive to good conversation than a fresh bale of hay!



But as soon as I hear #1, I go over and say hello to her. If it is too muddy and she cannot bring me out for a groom, then she brings me apples and carrots and gives them to me when nobody else is looking. We wouldn't want the others to get jealous, would we?!


OK, I shall now turn the keyboard over to The Big V who is leading such an exciting life at the moment!


Vidock: Studly and Scholarly Neighs, Buddies far and wide! I have now been in my new place for a week and I have already progressed in leaps and bounds!

Mr. JJR likes to start our work by lunging me:


I even went over a tiny jump the other day!


And then he rides me. He says that my stride has improved dramatically already!



After I'm done working and I have been rubbed down, #1 takes me back to my paddock and then brings me my treat bucket!


As you can see, I have a nice shelter in my paddock. #1 tried it out and saw that it really keeps out the wind and is nice and dry inside, even when it is raining hard. Because I am working so hard, I am already getting extra grain rations, and #1 is bringing me some supplements. I am being very well looked after!

  8. Tu es un peu ... boueuse Violette ! C'est ça la vie d'extérieur. Ca fait du bien les conversations entre amies. C'est important la vie sociale pour une "petite" jument.
    Vidock n'a pas le même genre de vie sociale, mais il a l'air entre de bonnes mais.
    La vie est belle en somme.....
    Un bon week end. Sec ça serait pas mal.

    That is a nice field shelter to keep the rain off your back Vidock. You look as though you are enjoying your schooling.
