If anyone sees Toby flying by, it'll be because I didn't have my hoof on his tail! 😯🪁

Today me and him are having a duvet day, on account of the rain and strong winds. Toby's delighted, as he hates the mud in our field, but I wanted to go out to see if it was sunny 😎 Momma G says it's not, but I never believe her!

There's some foggy weather rolling in - don't forget your headlights!
In other news, Stellar has grown out of her own rug, so she's borrowing one of mine! 😂

Yesterday Momma G had a hospital appointment so Aunty Bev was in charge of bringing us in; she'd been warned to watch out for my teeth and to shut all the gates in case I escaped... Of course I was an absolute angel!!
Can you see my halo twinkling 😇

To keep the humans on their toes try this: wait til she's bent down doing up somepony else's headcollar, then run like the clappers under the fence (it might try and remove your headcollar but don't worry) then rampage around the yard, refusing to be caught!
They love it! 😁

Last night, Momma G was taking Taz through the gate and I didn't want to wait, so I barged through. She put me in the stable while she faffed with his rugs and feet and things, and at that point I realised Toby was still in the field! Eating grass! Without me! 😲

It was a cold and blustery bimble that Taz took my Fave Human on, but it blew some cobwebs away, and they both had rosy cheeks when they got back! 😊

Honestly; Taz is such a goody-four-hooves!
My Fave Human decided to give him a bit of a trim with the clippers, using her phone torch for better lighting. It didn't occur to either of them that he'd even need a headcollar on, or someone to help!

Toby really knows how to get all the little kinks out of his back! A good scrimmy works wonders!
In other news - the baby is fine and my knee is less swollen!
AND... My Fave Human is visiting this weekend! 🥳

Pals! An awful thing happened! Yesterday some hounds got away from the hunt and jumped into our field! They chased us all, and we broke through the fence, ending up in the scrubby weeds. I've hurt my knee, and the baby has a sore leg too! The humans are furious! 😠

Stellar has decided she's got a new bestie - and thankfully Uncle Taz is happy to share his bit of grass with her! ☺️

Yesterday was awful; rain, sleet and strong wind, so we were brought in early. Toby was grazing at the bottom of the field, so Aunty Bev offered to slosh down in her wellies to get him. He waited until she was nearly there before galloping up to the gate! 🤭

But look - we're all in the same field! One big happy family! (Toby's down the hill sheltering from the wind!) Taz has been trying to play with the baby, but Isla gave him 'the look' and reminded him who's boss!

Look at the big lump of ice that came out of our water bucket! 🥶
Taz was the first one to try drinking the freezy water... It gave him an ice-cream headache! 🥴

Toby's feeling sad; his human flies to Honduras today and will be away for several months!
He tried squeezing into her suitcase but it's packed to the max with scuba gear and wetsuits!
Good luck Annie, stay safe and enjoy the fishies! 🦈🐟🦐🐡🐙

We're the last ones to go out today (we're waiting for the sleety shower to stop) so we're being quality control for everyone's haynets!
Yep, all good! ✅

One for Taz's fan club! 💖
After 2 days of staying in because of the weather, he was delighted to see grass again yesterday, and turned into a big snorty Welsh dragon! 😂

Pals! We've got a pet eagle!
He got all wet in the heavy rain yesterday, so he sheltered in the stable overnight. Toby was a bit worried about being eaten, but I think 'Eddie' was more interested in drying out.
(Momma G says he's a young kestrel. Isn't he beautiful?)
