It will be Brin, honest!

Hello everyone, its still me, the Mighty Atom!

You were probably expecting that the next blog post would be the big guy Brin, but its still me. He will be blogging soon, but he's almost as popular as me, so he's been a bit too busy to do any writing!

I’ve been very busy too so far this week,not only have I done my agility but I’ve also done some driving! maybe I'll be ready to challenge the big guys sometime soon...

Its going to be Brin!

I’ve made my choice for the next blogger: I’ll ask Brin.

I think he will be good at it, plus as he’s fairly new to the stables he’ll be able to give another horse’s thoughts on what we do.

Brin & me playing together - he's a big fella!

I will have to make sure he doesn’t write too much though!

….maybe I should tell him that there’s a limit on the number of words per blog!

Do you think that would work?    I’ll give it a try!

Who to Choose?

I’ve been thinking who I could ask to do the blog for me, and although Bruno said he’d 'love a go' again & I’m sure Hendrix would do it if I asked, I’d like to ask someone new.

I could ask Duke, he’s been here at Calvert Trust longer than any of us & is very experienced in just about everything. Or I could ask Brin, I’m sure he’s got lots to tell you as he’s always got plenty to say when we catch up!

Of course there is one other I could ask…

...my little mate Bailey.  But is he quite ready for the responsibility that comes with being a ‘blogger’?   

Is there such a thing as too much choice?

I'm Back!

Wow I've just realised its been ages since I've blogged, sorry about that folks, its all been a bit hectic in the stables in the last couple of weeks!

I have got some good news though, do you remember me telling you about my friend Nicky leaving the stables (Bye Bye Nicky) back in July?

Well she's coming back again! yay! We are all looking forward to seeing her again, and I'm looking forward to introducing her to my Bailey!

I’ve also got a bit of news for you about Bailey, he’s done his first ‘show’ to some of our guests – he’s talked about nothing else since!!!

He went into the indoor arena with Teddy to show folks how us horses talk to each other; I’ve heard the staff say we are the ‘masters of body language’…

…whatever that means!

Anyway Bailey had a great time, as he really likes Teddy & thought it was great having him all to himself!   Oh, I forgot to mention that I wasn’t in the arena: I reckon it’s good for Bailey to do stuff without me.

Keeping my hooves crossed for Max...

I’ve got some more good news!...

...Do you remember me telling you about Maxwell & his bad leg? Well, he now much better & being ridden by the staff after quite a long break. Max is really pleased as he was getting rather bored not working!

It’s going to take a bit of time for him to get fit again; He’s got to take it easy and not do too much too soon. 

I’ll keep my hooves crossed that all goes to plan!

Fielding Bailey's questions

Good news…

...Bailey & I are out in the field with Teddy!!    

Although he’s kind of met Maxwell, he was in the field next to us which isn’t the same as sharing.  Bailey thinks Teddy is really cool…

...He’s also realised that he likes his own space & should be treated with respect!   

It’s nice for me to catch up with Teddy and it’s got me thinking; I wonder if he would like do the blog again sometime?

Mind you, maybe I should ask one of the others if they’d like to have a go, I’ll ask around when I get a chance.

Now who hasn’t done the blog yet……?  

Back with a vengence!

Hi everyone, it’s been a while since my last blog…

…but I’ve got a good excuse!

We’ve had our first centre Groups since our holiday, so all of us have been working hard to make sure that everyone had a great time! I didn’t do any driving but showed the groups my agility skills; it was great to be working again.  

It was also Bailey’s first experience of meeting our guests & he found it all rather exciting!  As it was wet outside I did my agility in the yard…

...I’m not sure that Bailey was taking much notice of what I was doing, but then he’s got plenty of time to learn!
