first times

Bee and Gem were amazing today. Gem had his first go at being a pony dog. He was really excited to start with, charging about on his lead and jumping up and down. But after an initial run round he waited nicely in the car until bee was tacked up. Caitlan has been trying to persuade her pony that she would enjoy hacking out and today was the day to see if it all paid off. We set off across the field with gem charging along behind. There was a hair raising momment when he decided he was frightened of a motorbike and hid under bee's legs. But otherthan tossing her head she ignored him. We went right the way along the bridle path, passed the river and the golfers without any problems and all the way back home. Good job caitlan, Bee and Gem, great day's work.
Unfortunately just found out today Bulgaria has foot and mouth desease. Which is awful for all involved and may put back our transportation of the horses. So eyes peeled for more news.
