I told you about the pad and bridle she put on me last time. Well, this time she put things on my legs!! I am telling you this was way beyond what I could deal with. Things on my legs. I tried to shake them off, but I have to use at least three legs on the ground to be able to stand, so that was difficult. I tried all sorts of contortions to shake all four legs at one time, which proved to be impossible, I can tell you. (I wonder why my mom was laughing at me?) I tried brushing them off against the wall of my stall, but the bits of my legs not covered by these things hurt, so I gave up on that idea. I then tried my teeth. Unfortunately my teeth are tiny as they are baby teeth, so they didnt prove helpful at all. I even tried walking them off, but I failed there too. Eventually I gave up and went back to eating my hay. Then, of all things, my mom came into my stall and took those blasted things off. I discovered they were called boots with sticky bits that hold them on. Well, we will see if I allow her to put them on again!
I thought I was free and clear after the trouble with the boots, but it wasnt to be. On another day she came at me again with something that looked like a saddle pad, but was bigger. This was called a saddle. It was heavier and harder on my back and had dangly things on each side. If I moved they hit my sides - so I didnt move!! The belly strap wasnt as soft either and was done up tighter than the saddle pad. Just standing still made things easier, so thats what I did. But eventually I got bored and moved over to my hay and started eating. When I am eating things dont seem so bad. I got used to the saddle and the stirrups hanging down by my sides. Of course getting treats from my mom helped too!
My mom forgot to take a photo of me wearing the saddle or the boots, so here is just one of me being handsome.
