Daffy is feeling a little.. fresh? at the minute.
He barged out of his stable last week, and proceeded to bomb out of the yard (I can run faster these days now my shoulder is sorted - hurrah!) and give us the run around on the road for 10 minutes. I know that I would've caught him no problem if I'd just left him grazing on the verges for 15 minutes (as if), and indeed I was able to walk straight up to him and put an arm over his withers before ringing YO to request some sort of catching apparatus, but once the bridle was there, he was off. He keeps life interesting, to say the least.
I'm hopeful that I will get a cheque from the NFU this week and we'll have tack to go to a show on the bank holiday Monday. I would do the veteran inhand and ridden classes, or maybe just the inhand (and perhaps welsh inhand) as I'm not sure I fancy a pulling match around the ring, but equally I don't feel it would be appropriate to put him straight back into a double bridle after so much time off.
We'll see, I'm trying not to plan anything until the last minute in the hope that nothing else will go wrong!
