Liar, liar

.....pants are on fire, as my daughter would say. Well that's what horses do to you.
Spent last night fed up that he had almost taken a step backwards and then this morning. Different horse, balance back, concentrating, not one fizzy moment and could even shorten and lengthen the trot a little. Hope to be ride at the weekend if the back just loosens up a bit.

So, either he feels sorry for me and has decided to tow the line or it is finally sinking in. I was wondering too about what Claire said about physio but after seeing him this morning I'm not concerned.

I do think that he has formed a bond with the other two and doesn't like them out in the field while he works. This morning we worked early and they were all in and he seemed less stressed. I'll monitor it for a week or so.

Been to the timber yard yet again this morning and saw this on their notice board, I shan't translate as I know Claire likes to practice, lol but being by a well known American writer I guess the original will be out there anyway.

L'essentiel, en ce monde, n'est pas l'endroit où nous sommes, mais la direction dans laquelle nous marchons. Oliver Wendell Holmes

Finally sinking in Trudi, bound to be. I can't imagine trying to work Anky with the rest of the gang in the next field.

I often wonder if I'm going in the right direction, most of the time, I don't even know which is the right direction.....

The important thing in this world is not where we are, but the direction that we are headed.
Loose translation.

I'm sorry I jumped the gun on your translation. You would probably have been way more accurate than me. I specialize in winging it.
