The Humans have been talking about the Olympics all the time. Non stop! Ma Leueen and Barn Manager Carl have talked about humans who throw themselves off these platforms high up in the air and do a bunch of somersaults and stuff and then land kersplash in the water. They have talked about humans who knock themselves out running as fast as they can round and round and round on a track. And there are some humans who have a walking race. Ma Leueen did an imitation of how they walk. Well …..that is beyond weird! Of course they have talked about all of the riders and horses doing dressage. So I have heard it all.
How has this affected me? Well Ma Leueen seems to be raising our level of performance. On some occasions I have tried to persuade her that this is not necessary but that has not worked. And…one day when I was giving Ma Leueen a bit of my opinion Coach Belinda got on me! I tried to dissuade her as well but she wasn’t having any of it. So I pulled myself together and did my best . Whew!
However there have been some nice walks in the forest as well which makes me happy. Here is a video of a little bit of one of our walks.
That’s all from me for now Dear Humans. I understand these Olympics will be over very soon so maybe Ma Leueen will not be, as you humans say, “raising the bar ” all the time!

Thank you Emma Human. I have been getting lots of forest walks this week as Cosch Belinda is away and it has been very HOT so Ma Leueen has just been taking me out to the forest. Even the bugs are not so active in this heat.🐴

I agree Kianga Human. I am so lucky that Ma Leueen also likes the forest so we usually go once a week unless the bugs are bad. Thanks for your comment.🐴

Well said, Biasini. Once these “games” are over, we will re-establish the natural order of things. When we’re tired of jumping, we can next door and hang out with the ranch horses. Let’s see our girls jump a 2-meter high fence, that is two meters wide, and in combination. I know I can do it. The ranch horses trail ride for about 3-4 days, for about an hour or so. The rest of week, they spend on the paddock. We don’t need to be clipped as often. Since, I’m an OTTB, my coat is naturally short. I just need to a good brushing everyday, which I should be getting anyway (cough *Griffin* cough). If I want a cow to go move somewhere, all I have to do is look at them, and they obey. Well, it’s time to check the hay net, but it’ll be the evening feed soon. Have a horsey week, Biasini.
With many neighs,
Lilith

Hay Lilith! Good to hear from you. Ma Leueen tells me the Games are over now so she will not be watching other dressage stars and be asking me to up my game. This week Coach Belinda it away and so that will be an easier week! I don’t know cows too much but it is good to know you can sort them out! Since you are an OTTB did you ever race? We have one horse here who was a racer but he is not a TB he’s a quarter horse and they run short races. He says he’s glad he doesn’t have to race any more. He says it was ok but he’s had enough of it and he had won a lot of money for his owners. Anyway.. enjoy your hay net. With a Whinny…Biasini🐴 and here is what I am on the inside.🦄

Why yes, Biasini, I did race but didn’t fare too well on race day. I would have a good practice week, but come race day, finish close to last. Well that’s how horse races are. Lilith

Scamper Human I do not watch TV in the barn but to be honest the Humans have been talking about every detail of every ride so I feel like I have seen it all myself! And there is one of the horses who is a smaller chestnut horse .He is called Gio and his barn name is Pumpkin. He was one of the stars and Ma Leueen tells me he reminds her of me. He and his rider, who is very famous, won medals : two bronze medals!!

Good morning Biasini! Tell Ma thank you for posting this film of a beautiful and gentle walk. I felt like I was right there with you.
Would you please ask Ma what she thought about the incident with the German rider and trainer causing them to be disqualified? I was quite distressed to see the photos and film clips.

Lesley Human. I have not seen the clips of what happened to the German rider’s horse. Ma Leueen said it was distressing. I know that Humans can be very cruel to horses. These Humans should have known better and they deserved to be punished. I am so lucky to have Humans that treat me with kindness and care. 🐴
