Is what I did today.  I followed my dad down to the allotments as I was rather bored what with spark in the field and having spent half an hour on my bike.  I saw a hen go into our field and then saw another one already in there.  So I went and chased them back into the allotments.  My dad's friend pipped up "you can have them if you catch them" so i set about trying to catch them.  I followed one into bracken and nettles with it going "broooock brock brock" the entire time.  Chickens are rather bad at hiding, they just shout all the time.  I never caught it but got stung on the knee.  It is now my mission to catch a chicken on the allotments.

I rode Spark in the farmer's field as he's said I can until our field gets cut(his was cut about a week ago so is short).  I wanted to divert his attention away from the horses in the opposite field as much as possible and i succeeded until my dad found an abandoned nest and shouted me to come look.  So, Spark saw the horses and just stood, pinned to the spot, staring.  I've decided that I'm going to use the opportunity of exercising him in the farmers fields as practise for cross country later this year, to get him used to cantering and working in strange fields.  Oh yes, the grass in the field is still quite yellow after being cut, so sparky decided it needed fertilised...

I said I would put a picture of the guiness curly tail up today, but cant really be bothered to mess on with adobe right now, so it'll have to wait til tomorrow.
