Stallions, my lovely pony, no snow and no dressage!!!

 Alderwood Hot Shot

This handsome fella has come to stay with me for a week while his mum jet sets off for some Christmas Shopping. If you click on his picture it will take you to his Facebook page.  He has caused quite a stir on the top yard with my girls and is now happily stabled next to Millie who just ignores him!  Mez really did not like him and spent two hours showing her distaste at him looking in her bedroom by squealing and kicking out then hugging the wall on the other side of her stable to be near to Millie.  I then moved them around and everyone is settled.  Tilly is a little non plussed but happy to have some company on the days I can manage to get Millie and Mez into the field.  I have been riding him every day and he is such a good boy you could nearly forget his is a stallion.
Work at my other yard Pepper Hill should be starting this week with the indoor school being first on the list.  I am waiting to hear back from the surface company to arrange a meeting to decide what would be the best way to top the surface up.  I went down at the weekend to show three ladies round and hopefully they will be stabling there when the work finishes.
Mez and I were entered in the dressage at Myerscough tomorrow but they rang yesterday as everyone was cancelling to see if I would still go.  I said yes as I thought I might have a better chance of winning!!!  However, they have now cancelled it. :(  I schooled Mez yesterday and she is just getting better and better, what a lovely little horse I have got - how lucky am I!
Tilly is still on box rest and Joe has been unable to come and scan and nerve block as he wants us to be able to trot up and the yard has been just a little too slippy this week!  I have had my first bill through from last Friday and will be filling in my insurance claim form today!!!
We are getting in the Christmas spirit now and this Saturday is our yard Christmas meal at The Plough in Galgate.  Hopefully all will run smoothly and everyone will get what they ordered.  I am not taking any chances and I have saved all the original details of the meals people ordered so they can not say 'I didn't want that'!!!!
Well I'd better go and see what the yard is like and whether I can turn out or not.  The landlord has been digging by the Indoor school yet again and there are huge piles of hardcore everywhere which worries Kirkby so I cannot manage to lead them on my own at the moment and have to keep hassling Shelly to help in a morning!!
Oh....does anyone know when the snow will come????
