Lovely morning spent with Smoosh! Loving that we have some sunshine still a little chilly when the winds blowing but yay sunshine ☀️ He lunged lovely but a little bit sluggish and then tried eating one of the bushes as he was walking past it 🤦🏼‍♀️ like you can clearly he’s starved 🤣 Gave him a lovely groom a bunch of carrots took some goofy pics then he went off into his field no backward glances straight for a mutual groom 🥰 #sunny #skewbaldcob #cobhorse #horse #horsenose #micklembridle #horseselfie #fieldbuddies #mutualgrooming https://www.instagram.com/p/BwUQYreBRry/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=bnuo568l0296

Lovely afternoon lunging smoosh with the hubby @lumpy85 (the cameraman) he lunged lovely and even got a bit of a sweat on so we’ve decided to leave him rugless 😬 let’s hope it stays warm and sunny ☀️ #cobhorse #skewbald #skewbaldcob #horse #lunging #cantering #trot #slowmotionvideo #micklem #stubben #sunny https://www.instagram.com/p/BwP_XwrBKKk/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=j33hpppxxe35

So after a cuddly morning with the Donkeys who bundled in the tack room with me lol 😂 I walked down to Smoosh and what did I see a ripped rug 🤦🏼‍♀️ don’t think he’d missed me this weekend only the treats he checked every pocket and stood giving me faces as if to say “well mum where are the rest?” To his dismay I lunged him and then turned him back in his field rugless, however I have asked the girls to rug him overnight as we are forecast a lot of rain 😔 #cobhorse #skewbald #horse #headcollar #horserugs #rippedrug #donkeys #muddyfield #headcollar #horsenose #gelding https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv_x5wwhobX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1glrraur7qnn9

What is up with the weather 🤷🏼‍♀️ one minute sunny then hail now it’s cold but sunny 🤦🏼‍♀️ I thought all the rug weather was behind me but nope!! Noticed Smoosh has got a sore on his chin so he had a chilled lunge today and then I sprayed it with iodine which he was not happy about, however I’m glad I did because I got him back to his field and he decided a muddy puddle was the prefect drinking water 🤦🏼‍♀️ #cob #skewbald #cobhorse #horsenose #headcollar #horseselfie #muddypuddles #muddyfield #aprilweather #shiresequestrian #horserugs https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv1Nc3MBRVY/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1rdjehs48t20a

Cold overcast morning with a forecast of rain and lows of 2 overnight 🤦🏼‍♀️ where the hell did Saturdays weather go?? Got him nicely lunged with some canter thrown in, walked him round to the donkeys where he met my little Puffin and was not amused so I gave him a soft mint to chew on and occupy him 🤣 then I sadly put his rug back on 😪 but he’s just healing from rain scald and I don’t wanna risk it getting sore again so needs must.

Happy Mother’s Day to my beautiful mum in heaven. I love you and I miss you so much! I Can’t believe this picture was taken on our last Mother’s Day together, it’s so unfair you should still be here with me, I’d like to call you, see you, cuddle you and tell you how much I love you and how much of an inspiration you was and always will be to me!! I hope that wherever you are you have a wonderful day with your mum and that you know how much your loved, missed and thought of every single day! #mothersday #missingmymum #mothersdayinheaven #imissyou https://www.instagram.com/p/BvqcUr6BGUy/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=11aextxhzup75

Quick visit to smoosh this morning to clean and iodine his rain scald and I’m pretty sure that’s the last one it looks really good so I’m happy... and he’s finally rugless yay!!!! #cob #skewbald #horse #headcollar #horseselfie #horsenose #horsebum #rainscald #purplespray #iodine #rugless https://www.instagram.com/p/Bvg0D83A7eX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=12d5f3bp3ubn0

As hard as he tried to puff himself up I still managed to get his saddle on him for a lunge 🤣 was a 46” girth on the first hole till he started walking and having to breathe then I got it done up some more ha ha ha 🤣 he lunged nicely in it thought he might throw in some bucks but that would take to much energy and he just wants to plod lol 😂 #cob #horse #skewbald #horsenose #micklem #stübben #thorowgood #cobsaddle https://www.instagram.com/p/Bveb87PgBou/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=o169u2e380x3

Sunny but windy morning with my new Donkey friends this morning but they was all so well behaved and cooperative, sweeping was like fighting a loosing battle but I persevered lol 😂 then a trip down the yard to see my big man Smoosh and clean his sore. # Taken his rug off not only cos he’s ripped the tail strap but cos I need him to not sweat or his sore won’t get better so I can risk it getting dusty cos I’ve been cleaning it everyday and coating it in iodine so it’s healing well and is well protected. (Although you can clearly see I ran out of iodine and use purple spray on Saturday lol 😂) #skewbald #cob #horse #horseselfie #horsenose #rainscald #iodine #purplespray https://www.instagram.com/p/Bvb6LHbhfvu/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1541llpikdusg

Cheesy Grin Friday brought to you by Smoosh!! 😆 Really good lunge this morning on the lazy side but I did managed to get him to canter lol 😂 poor sod he must hate me, I know I’d hate someone who was getting me to run around 🤣 then while he was cooling off I was bribing him with carrots so I could clean his sore bum!! 🥰 #cob #skewbald #horse #horsenose #horsewhiskers #horserugs #shiresequestrian #highlanderrug https://www.instagram.com/p/BvUJN8MBUz5/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=17qxql4ej0vfd

This boy really makes me smile 😊 he’s such a goof!!! The faces he pulls at me when he knows I have carrots lol 😂 x no lunging today just a trip down to check his sore bum and clean and spray it with iodine! I think it’s looking much better, hopefully should be cleared up soon, my poor Smoosh 😘 xxx And then I come home from this chirpy chap to find my little scavenger Percy had raided the bin and dragged it across my entire kitchen floor 🤦🏼‍♀️ he is not in my good books today and is getting no treats as he’s eaten far to much crap today already lol 😂 #cob #skewbald #rainscald #horsebum #shiresequestrian #lightweightrug #horseface #iodine https://www.instagram.com/p/BvRtYQ5hdeJ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=pi8nsgwjr54q

Lovely morning with Smoosh today!! He lunged lovely, really listening well considering he’s had a few days off x I managed to cut the fur short round his sore on his bum and give it a good clean and it’s looking a lot better so feeling pleased with that!! Then brought all his grooming kit home to give it a clean and sterilise it so it’s been a productive day!! #skewbald #cob #horsenose #rainscald #horsebum #horseselfie #horselunging #micklem #micklemmultibridle https://www.instagram.com/p/BvO_I85Bv0P/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=107rzzvkaktv5
