Sunday Trot Trotting

It is a Sunday, which is a day that mum can come out when it’s not dark.  I like not dark days, because mum can stay longer and I get more pats and brushes – which I like.  Today mum said I did some very good things, which meant I got even more pats and brushes which Spoon REALLY likes.

One of the good things I did was not bucking or spooking in the big fun field of doom.  We walked into the BFFoD, and I was like “Uh mum there are totally coyotes in the woods.”  If Mum was as smart as a spoon, she would have let me run for home as fast as I could immediately.  Instead, mum said we had to trot trot in circles instead.

Can't you see all the coyotes?

So I went trot trot in circles, but I kept my head up and my ears listening for coyotes.  Mum said it was ok to do that as long as I stayed in trot trot.  She said today was about conditioning and not flexy bendy.  That’s good, cuz I hate flexy bendy.

Then we went canter, and I put the correct leg out in front both good way and bad way.  I got a lot of pets for this, especially after going bad way for two big hugest circles ever.  I am a good Spoon.

After canter we should have been done, but mum said we had to go trot trot up hills for more condition.  I wanted to gallop up hills cuz I am Spoon and I am just cool like that, but she said nooooo we had to trot trot.  I did not like this, and pouted a little bit.

Back at the barn I was told I need a haircut.  Mum said since I am going to be a Sporty Horse now, that I needed a sporty horse mane.  I am still not sure about this.  Spoon has long blonde hairs and looks very posh like this.  But I got lots of treats and mum said she would only pull a little at a time.  It did not hurt cuz I am such a big tough draft horse.  It prolly hurts normal horses, but not a Spoon.

Mah blonde hairs!

I think I need a new stylist.
