Hi everyone!

Sarah (and Tippy here!)

I’ve got a v. busy month ahead as I’ve officially got two nags to look after. Gizmo’s owner has had an op on one of her eyes and isn’t allowed near the stables in case she gets dust in her eye and it gets infected - so I’m in charge of Gizmo as well as Tippy.

Gizzy is really easy to do, I just have to make sure he doesn’t eat too much spring grass! I’m going to be riding him at least three times a week, which should help him stay slim and trim. He’s stabled at night, like Tippy, but he’s bedded on straw so I’ll have to get used to mucking out straw again rather than shavings! Gizmo has a medium sized haynet at night and gets a tiny feed morning and night; so he doesn’t get jealous of Tippy munching away.

Apart from being taller and wider than Tippy, Gizzy is v different to ride. His stride is much longer and more rolling than Tippy’s. He’s also a big baby and spooks at everything! So fingers crossed I don’t bounce off!

Better go - as you know both Laura and Jennie are off at the mo!
Bye
Sarah
