Week 29 - Germany
Week 29 – Germany
Monday morning was really misty, windy and chilly. We were up early, because we had to get the stables early – the farrier was coming. So off we went cycling through the mist and wind. We got to our boys, and let them out to have their romp while we cleaned stables etc., while waiting for the farrier. We had finished everything, and our boys were back in and groomed, when the farrier arrived – late! It was not a problem, we had lots to do. After our boys had their pedicure, it was time for us to cycle home. The sun was trying to come out, but only managed to peek through the mist at about midday. The afternoon cycle was sunny and a lot warmer – both our boys were hanging out their stables with their heads in the sun. Once we had done their grass and water, we put on their pajamas and headed back home.

Tuesday morning was another beautiful summers day. Our boys enjoyed their romp in the paddock, rolling all over the show. Once their stables were done, it was time for them to come back in, and Peri was not feeling to good. He had serious tummy cramps, and diarrhea.

We only left the stables at about 2pm, then went home for lunch, and then was back by 4pm. I thank the Lord that Peri was doing fine by the evening.
Wednesday was another lovely summers day – it only started getting really windy in the late afternoon. Peri was back to his normal self – thank the Lord! and him and Bailie ran around the paddock like crazy. Bailie uses any excuse to “get a fright” and go charging off, and Peri follows not realizing Bailie is just messing around, and there is nothing there. I must say that both the boys stables were a mess, so we had to do a spring clean. The boys were really happy to come back into clean well stocked stables – spoilt brats! By the afternoon the wind had picked up, and the cycle to the boys was challenging, but at least the sun was still shining and it was nice and warm.
Thursday morning was really really windy, and miserable, it even started drizzling on the way to the boys. Our boys still enjoyed their romp in t
