well…. so much to tell!  Roo is still my barn mate. he has had his splint changed twice and will be in the feline ritz for many more weeks. my human has been busy creating a jumping and obstacle course for me and my mini friends. i have been watching her from my stall spend her mornings and late afternoons building and decorating. i have spent some time in the arena inspecting her work. she is doing a good job of it! my daughter Snowdrop looks to be a promising proper jumper! not my bag though. i like my feet firmly planted on the ground! my human made me jump the other day. i showed her how much i really do not like flying through the air. refusal! refusal! walk through. occasional jump. ears pinned. i think she got the message. climbing on the box is great fun! the bridge to be built will be a pleasure. i heard her say there was to be a pond also. exciting! we had some rain a bit ago. we all loved it. now there are green bits popping up. the nights have become cold. i am sporting a fun saddle clip. just like the event horses wear. my blanket at night is cozy. the Elegant one across from me had a problem a few weeks ago. she had a serious choke. it was very frightening to watch. the vet had to come out and give her drugs and work on her. she has to have her hay in a hanging feeder to slow her munching down. now i have a hanging feeder also. my human said i was finishing my meals too quickly. i like tossing the bag back and forth. it makes some of the hay float to the floor. an easier chomp! tonight i went out for a night walk. toasty blanket on. we went into the arena and looked at all the jumps. i kept my feet on the ground. see, my human remembered! there are solar lights at some of the jumps and obstacles. it really was a great evening! i walked back briskly and proud for i did not spook at anything! even got to graze under the tree that is loosing its leaves. dessert! i will sleep good tonight.
