Ra has been down this weekend so I decided it was only fair to avoid any equine activities in order to entertain her. The weather managed to put a stop to the show Smem was to go to so we invited her mum out for lunch to the Fox and Hounds at Harlestone. Very nice!However, I did manage to persuade them to go for a walk after lunch. And of course Tiger came too. He's really getting into this leading lark. He walks to heel like a well-trained dog. We even broke into a trot at one point. (That includes me!) He did take exception to a motor bike but just wanted to keep his eye on it rather than running away. We had to beat a hasty retreat though when some cattle started to get just a bit too friendly!
He's not all sweetness and light though. Tiger is on short rations at the moment due to his being a little portly. This leaves him slightly ill-tempered, especially when his companions the calves are given their morning milk. Yesterday it became all too much for him and he tried to take a bite out of one of them. Fortunately Smem was on hand and managed to sound so cross with him that he let go and beat a hasty retreat. He's a quick learner. Hopefully he won't do it again.
