Jamie learnt the lesson yesterday that it is not good to be a thin skinned TB second in line to be Furminated after a thick skinned Welsh section C, who has just bitten me on the backside. It took me a little while to work out that he very clearly was saying 'ouch, not so hard mum'. Poor boy, he doesn't have much hair to come out anyway.
Grand National day yesterday and as usual on these big race days I think about Jamies race career and how lucky I was to have found him before he got shipped off to Potters as another racing cast-off. I reckon he was about 4 hours away from ending up there.
Once I had tuned in to what he was telling me about the furminating we had a nice massage session in the sun which we both enjoyed.
Max was a good boy to be worked, probably not a lot more I can do to progress the groundwork now so need to start some inhand work in the bridle and hoping that the OH will pop on this afternoon and take him for a pootle around the fields.
i'm lucky this year not to have to think about shedding - Monfils is still growing coat in after being fully clipped in November ...
