Grotty Groom decided that Hormonal Hannah could get over herself today, Baggy was going to take her to the yard to see the horses, whether Hannah liked it or not! Hannah did not like it, in fact Hannah wanted Baggy to stay in the house again, but Clever Bird was having none of it. Firstly she got Baggy to drag Furry Mama out, as Minty Mutt needed his walk. Then once Minty was settled down at home, she stopped Baggy from sitting back down and made her go straight back out to take Grotty to the yard.
The Boys were just finishing their session on the horse-walker, so Grotty was just in time to give them a good groom. She had intended riding, but Hannah was making her reluctant to do so, so instead she groomed, and groomed, and groomed a bit more. Both Boys appreciated it - they enjoyed a good scratch. The farrier was coming to re-shoe them this afternoon too, which Grotty hadn't realised, so it was another excuse to give in to Hormonal Hannah and not let Grotty ride. Instead, Grotty stayed with the Boys while they were shod and chatted to the farrier. At least both Boys were clean and sparkly for him.
The forecast for tonight is for heavy rain and thunderstorms, and very warm and muggy air, so Grotty told the head girl, that she'd take the Boys' zebra fly rugs home and wash them and that they could be turned out naked! They were delighted when Grotty told them - they both told her that they would make sure to roll in the absolute muddiest bits of the paddock, so that she could groom them for even longer tomorrow. Grotty is determined to ride Wessles tomorrow, so getting the mud off first will be interesting..........
