Not too long to go now. The rain/thunder/lightning has held off today so the boys finally got out in the fresh air. Paddy's movement is much looser, for which we are thoroughly relieved, although he's still inexplicably fond of doing that horrible fast trot. Rash is a little under the weather with a bit of a cough and a snotty nose, nothing dramatic though (possibly due to him munching on his bedding, it's the last of the straw and pretty horrible and manky). We had a bit of a canter and I got up off his back for the first time in months. It was done with some trepidation as this is when he usually has his bucking fit. He didn't put a foot wrong, almost a schoolmaster!
Ok, now for the wish list. We've been thinking about the little bits and pieces we might need, now that we can stop worrying about the lorry (thanks again Sue, sorry if this is getting boring).
It goes as follows:
2 X bales haylage
2 X bales shavings
Babywipes X lots (great for everything, including tack cleaning)
Ibuprofen X lots
Windproof lighter X 2
Ariat riding trainers size 5 (secondhand is fine if you have a pair knocking around somewhere)
Crepe bandages (for us) X 2
Sticking plasters
'Liquid skin'
Purple spray
Hoof moist
Antiseptic cream
Antihistamine cream
Sudocream
Sunscreen (high factor, for horses)
Surgical spirit
Saline
Salt/ electrolytes
Animal lintex
Electric tape and posts (we still haven't found horse B&B for the 18th)
If anyone can think of anything else......
