It never rains .......

You haven't heard from me for a bit - but I'm still here! This week I had a visit from the Team. Now last time The Gaffer and The Mrs came it was a lovely day - well you couldn't say the same this time. It was horrible! Talk about wet,wet,wet!!!!!!!

Now I don't mind too much but, as we came up the gallops, I could see the Team all huddled together in their wet weather gear trying to look as though they were enjoying things. I don't see how - it was lashing down. Anyway, I did two canters up the all weather strip and did well I think. I feel that I have grown up quite a bit. I've stopped fidgeting all the time and just do my work calmly and nicely. I think all the riders like getting on me now as I'm so relaxed.

We didn't dwell on the gallops as it was so miserable and just headed home as soon as we could for a nice rub down and a pick of hay. The Team came to see me in my stable - I heard lots of admiring comments which was nice, and the Trainer said I had come on a lot and that he was pleased with me which was even better. Now I was so settled and took no notice of all the people in my box and just ate my hay and then had a nice roll as my coat was a bit itchy after all that rain - they just had to move aside a bit!

Hopefully, next time they come the sun will shine and I can show off my lovely coat - wet weather does nothing for a girls hair.
