Who am I?

I am a 14 2 Gypsy Gelding and I've moved from the Scottish stud farm to live in Fermangh (Northern Ireland) with some new animal friends.


We are all cared for by some Two-legs. These are the people we love and who love us back...with hay and apples...and carrots...and grapes...and mints!

Bank Holiday Monday in Fermanagh


Lough Erne, seen on a dry evening hack

Me and Stinky Ben took Two-legs for a wee hack down the road today. I've been advised to lose a bit of weight, so off we all set at a sedate pace. I don't want poor Stinky Ben over doing it!  He's looking a bit filled out around the edges, so I'm sure he appreciated the relaxed pace. 

I myself was more than a little concerned about the state of the turf under-hoof. There was a huge possibility that I was going to need a grand set of galoshes on this outing, with all the rain that we have been getting in this sodden place! How and ever I was pleasantly surprised and it turned out to be a dry and pleasant half hour (I don't want to risk  injury too early into my training!).

"Boo Cow!"
There was very little to look at. Anyone with any sense stayed in-doors this Bank Holiday Monday. The cows were out of-course; bellowing, “BOO!” at every opportunity. They did spook me on their first try, but by the second, third and forth time I had lost patience with their game and snorted back! Ha! That in itself was enough to send them sloshing away to the far end of their field.
