Lazing on a Sunny Afternoon

And I love to live so pleasantly,
Live this life of luxury,
Lazing on a sunny afternoon.
In the summertime
In the summertime
In the summertime

This afternoon, I went for the best ride ever on Klængur.  He was hoof-perfect and Bjørn, my trainer who came along too, gave me a 6 out of 10 for his tölt (for me, that is an awesome score).

Afterwards, we spent some time with the boys in their field.

Such a relaxing atmosphere. I could not ask for nicer horses and such a peaceful feeling. The cure for all ills, I swear.

Of course that meant a quick snog from the bebbies.

Storm came straight up to Daisy for a hug, but was vying for attention with BeAnne who does not give in easily.

Hugging can be so exhausting for everyone.

Subsequently Waffle came up to talk.

And then Silver. He is really coming out and is happy to talk to people unless startled by a terrier or person.  He has a very sensitive nature.

For those that don’t know, Shetland ponies make the most excellent chairs.

This is BeAnne’s “happy” face. At the moment she grazes more than the ponies do. Most odd.  Perhaps she needs more fibre in her diet.

Indy Ping-Pong was as gorgeous as always. He has taken the bebbies under his wing and I think that they are very grateful. He will teach them their manners and how to interact with the herd, which is better than anything that we could do for them in order for them to be normal ponies.

A perfect ride followed by a perfect bebbie snoggin’ session.

Who could ask for more?
