One Horse & her Mother does Wales....

....but not in a Debbie does Dallas kind of way! Let us be clear on that! Mummy was a bit worried about loading me into the box as she'd not travelled me before. When I came to live with Mummy, Auntie Lindsey's Dad gave me a lift in their trailer, so Mummy wasn't sure what I would make of the horsebox. She needn't of worried of course, 'I' am Lady Tara and as such have obviously had lots of experience at this kind of thing. I was terribly excited when I saw the horsebox and could bearly contain myself as Mummy groomed me and put my travel boots on ready for my trip. She put on a tail bandage, but the less said about that the better!! OUTRAGEOUSLY terrible attempt! I didn't tell her at the time, just let Auntie Helen laugh at the other end! *Snort* It was time for me to get on the box, and Mummy was getting a bit flustered as she was convinced I was going to throw a wobberly. In the end 'I' decided I'd better take matters into my own hooves, and shoved her to one side and loaded myself. "Right Mother, I'm on! Stop pratting about. Now all you have to do is push that bar across to keep me safe. A little bit more, yes, thats right. Now, you tie my lead rope up here and make sure I can reach the hay - that is VERY important." She is such a blouse sometimes, but she's my Mum and I love her! Daddy made a HUGE fuss about giving me kisses goodbye and telling me to be good. Like he was going to miss me! I know He and Eunochs had special treats planned while I wasn't there! I made him laugh when I answered him and whinned goodbye back - well, thats what he thought! What I was really saying was if you give the Idiot Boys special treats while I'm away, I will hunt you down and kill you! Finally, we were on our way!!! Yipppheeeee!!! I whinned "So long Suckers - I hate you" as we drove past the Idiot Boys. Pops was crying like a girl, but Mac didn't even notice I was going. I hate him! Mummy was very careful with her driving, and she could see me in the back because she had a special camera to watch me and make sure I was ok. I kept looking over my shoulder when I could hear her OUTRAGEOUSLY bad singing - really, One shouldn't have to listen to it during a trip! I made my point by shoving my bottom hard against the bit between me and her! "Shut Up Already!!" Thankfully she got the message! We made very good time to Wales, thankfully Auntie Helen caught us just as we were leaving to say avoid the M4 as there had been a nasty incident and the whole road was closed off and traffic was queuing for several miles in all directions. So we went a different route instead and only got caught in a little bit of road works just off the M50, so not too bad. I really like travelling and I was excellently behaved, but really - would you expect anything else from Moi? And then we were in Wales and arriving at Doghill Farm. Mummy parked up the box and my door opened. I was there!! "Hello Auntie Helen, Hello Uncle Hew! Mother, hurry up - I need a wee!! Stop fanny about, stand back, I can unload myself! Amateur!" Mummy and Auntie Helen took off my travel boots and gave me a check over and then it was time to head to my B&B for the night. "Right, where's this Pedigree Eunoch then..................?"
