First meeting

I sort of met Mena on Monday.

I say sort of, I was in the car and Dad was holding her whilst Mum was doing something and he brought her across near the car.  I was very good and didn't bark .. she just looked at me.

As it was a nice day, Dad got out the camera and took a lovely photo of Betsy (she lives at the yard all the time) soaking up the sun in the hay barn and a nice one of Mena in her stable.

Lodgers

Mena has lodgers in her stable.  They are quite noisy, but she doesn't seem to mind.

Not long

Only 3weeks until Burghley Horse Trials.

Good to see the nice people at Burghley have already started building the course. Not sure if Mum will be allowed to go, and if she is she will probably be banned from the shopping area ...bought a bridle for Mena last weekend and probably a saddle this week so Dad is hoping there's nothing left to buy!

The strangest things

We saw one this weekend when we were at the van.

The people next door to us left just after we arrived on Saturday - not because of us, they were already packing up as we got out of the car.  Anyway, when it came time to hitch up their van, they did it with the jockey wheel and two front steadies down.

Never seen that before but it seemed to work for them. 

After they had gone, I kept a close eye on the people who moved in
