Hello!

Hi, I'm Toby, I'm a 13 year old thoroughbred cross and I'm a gelding but that is still a sore point so I prefer not to talk about it. Sarah found me on horse hunter whilst looking for her first horse, she thought that I looked like I could do with some good food and exercise from the photo on my advert but came to see me anyway. Unfortunately I didn't look much like the picture on the internet, I was much worse, I hadn't been looked after properly so I was very thin, my spine stuck up and people said my ribs looked like a picket fence, my hips stuck out too, I felt sad and couldn't be bothered to do much. I made Sarah really sad. I'm much better now but me and Sarah still have some work to do and need to get to know each other better so this blog has been set up to let people know how we are getting on.

Ugh it's so unfair

I really can't be bothered with all this ridden work we've been doing recently, I prefer just doing nothing, Sarah says I've been a really lazy boy for the past two weeks, I disagree. I keep trying to make it difficult for her so she gives up especially when she tries to get on me at the mounting block, what kind of stupid horse doesn't protest though.

Yesterday Sarah was the lazy one and she free schooled me, she thought it would be good for me to have a bit of a change, stupid woman it means I can get away with being more lazy than when she rides because she can't get on my case unless she chases me which I think is really funny.
Here are some new photos of me and one of my neighbour Jack, he is so nosey, sometimes he pokes his head over the wall when I'm playing with my treat ball so I try and bite him just incase he tries to pinch my food, he's so annoying. Sarah thinks he's cute, I thought she was on my side!
P.S It was my birthday on Wednesday, I was 13, I'm still waiting for my cake and for my name plaque to be put up and my stall guard-bloody humans. She was late this morning too, she didn't get to the yard until 8:30 so I made a right mess in my stable so it will take her ages to muck out later when she's feeling better, she looked well rough but its her own fault for going out drinking with her friends, oh well I might get out of doing some work this afternoon.
