After much discussion, we did decide we should bring them in again, at least while Angela is away so it was another early morning start to walk them through the village before most people got up. There were no mishaps in the field catching them – unlike when the vet came to give Oscar his jabs and he ran around like an idiot making Angela feel quite foolish. In fact there was no trouble really walking to the barn, despite a stupid car driver who just drove out of a junction with no regard for the two horses walking quietly at 6 a.m. The only thing Oscar found slightly dangerous was some rainwater running into a drain rather loudly.
So I am on my own again looking after two horses, feeding, mucking out, turning out in the school – who needs to go to a gym! Doesn’t seem to do anything about weight loss though!
