My day started very relaxed at the farm, But...



My day started very relaxed at the farm but ended up being a minor disaster.

Me and my friend went out on a real chill ride on the horses in the forest. We rode without saddles and bet, we're so cool ;-) It was a nice relaxing trip. We should do it more often and the horses enjoyed it so much!

When I came back to the farm I found out I had the day's gig with giving all the horses hay. Sigh, it's not exactly what you most want to do when the weather is a bit gray and dull and with mud up to your knees. Well, I was optimistic right until I found out that the mini tractor only had enough hay to the geldings!

Hmm yea okay, so I had to fight the tractor back agian through the mud and drive back to the farm and all alone load half bale of hay up into the tractor. It's VERY heavy, I'll tell you that!


I still hadn't lost courage. So I drove out to the mares and I had to really drive fast if I wanted to get through all the mud. And of course when I reach the middle of the hill a horse runs in front of the tractor, so I had to hit the brake which then leads to I'm stuck in the mud!

I struggle and struggle but I was just stuck the same place. Then I had to call the owner of the farm who then later came and pulled it up. So I had to throw 80 kg hay up on a hilltop in mud up to my knees! When I got home and looked at myself in the mirror, I thought that I had become a mud monster! My shoes, pants, jacket and face were filled with mud. So I have spent my whole evening washing all my clothes and boots. 

But I must say that the trip in the forest saved the day, without it, my day had probably been really bad...
