Hi, this is Ozzie here. Elaines gone off into town so I thought id try out his colourful box thing and see why she spends time at it, when she could be outside playing basketball with me......
I'm pretty cool alright
its in the genes you know? I have to say i like where I am now. In my last place they were a bit rough and I used to get pushed around a lot. They didn't listen to me at all!! They'd throw scary things on me and then steer me around pulling my mouth all the time. I didnt like it.
My new home is much better. I have a huge field to myself, along with about 30 cattle which I like to boss about. It amazing how fast you can get them to run!! They do smell a bit though, but when I fart they all disappear
Because of my last place, I didnt like people at all. All they did was force you to do stuff you dont want to do, and lunging you at a gallop over huge fences. I hated that, I always felt I was about to fall over or crash into the fence.
I got clever though and it used take them HOURS to catch me. I used hate being caught. I was pretty good at avoiding a headcolloar too - i used to turn my neck THE WHOLE way around... I'm quite intelligent you know
When I came here though, it took me a while to figure out that things were a bit different (sorry elaine for making you run around the paddock for there hours in the rain to catch me ). You see, I thought all humans were rude and horrible.
Now its pretty cool though
I've got 3 horsey friends - one is a bit too bossy for my liking though, and he tried to steal my basketball yesterday!! (might have to have a word with elaine about that) but as far as humans go, I seem to own a fairly good one now.
She's funny (why does she walk backwards around me with a small black box in her hand? she wants me to eat it right?) tries her best, and she listens to me (as much as humans can)... if there's something I'm not happy with she's pretty understanding and will help me out if I need it. In the few months I've been here I've trained her pretty well
At the start she used to vist me every day, but now (I hear she's got a new job in dublin) I only see here every weekend, which makes me a bit sad
Surely she should just be here everyday to take care of me? There's another guy who drives that small machine who looks after me when she's gone, but its not the same... We're hoping to do our first trot this weekend, so I'll let me all know who we get on. I'll be grand of course
but I'll just have to take it easy to make sure elaine manages to stay on. I dont know how much trotting she's done before, so I better look after her.
Oh oh, she's coming back, have to dash...............*galops away and resume his position eating grass innocently in the next field*
