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!
