Stalling for Time .......

What have I been up to?   Well I'll tell you - its been a busy old time here at Summerdown, although just recently there hasn't been much summer about. 

First of all we had our open day - which is when all the owners turn up and we are paraded in front of everyone - if you remember last year I led the parade - well this time as one of the more senior horses I was further down the order as I have been promoted to the bottom yard.  The Team - or most of them anyway - were there and all came to see me - everyone seems pleased with me and why not I ask - I am now a fine figure of a filly.  However, my Trainer did let it slip that I had been less than co-operative going into the stalls!  How embarassing was that!  The Mrs came over afterwards and told me that I really had to pull myself together and get on with it. 

Anyway this week I have been having more stalls training - now I can't say I was happy about it but in the end I did go in as you can see - at first I was a bit wary but once in I have to admit that my world didn't cave in and nothing awful happened!  The second time I went in without the hood - how good is that - and I actually walked out - perhaps I'm getting the hang of it now.  I will reserve judgement but I guess if LouLou can do it I can.  My only excuse is that as I'm rather a big girl I do find the stalls a little small and they are really quite noisy - but needs must.

I am hoping that I might get to go racing soon  - its about time I overtook the little one.
