Morning walk, 13th July 2012

Is it odd to actually love waterproof trousers? Because I do. It's impossible to move quietly in them, they're not what Anna Wintour would wear, but I do not care.

Slugs and snails were out in force today, even eating nettles. Nettles! Dog I kept firmly where I could see her at all times, lest we have a repetition of the fox poo incident. She didn't appreciate this, so did her labrador cow act, which involves her attempting, rather inefficiently, to eat grass, getting some stuck in her throat, and then hacking and coughing for the rest of the walk. Maybe cows don't actually do the last, come to think of it.

I brought along waterproof trousers on my recent visit to the UK, convinced I'd need them, but amazingly we had quite good weather and I didn't (they just added to the weight of our biggest bag, which got labeled with the embarrassing orange HEAVY label on each flight; guess I should be glad they did not slap one on me!). Funny about the dog's performance--we too have some walks in which we've barely gotten 10 steps from the door when the labrador cow act starts!

We had one particularly good walk when I met up with a friend and her three dogs, and all of them were doing the cow act. I'm glad you didn't need the waterproof trousers when you came over!

Rollkur and the blue tongue

-
I've been meaning to write about this all week, but reading the exclusive in Horse and Hound about the controversy tipped me over the edge. For my non-horsy readers, rollkur is a training/warming up technique used by some dressage riders. It basically involves riding the horse with its jaw pulled in virtually to its chest, in order to increase suppleness. Patrik Kittel , a Swedish competitor in Odense was videoed riding his horse in this way. If you watch the video , you'll see the horse's tongue hanging out - blue. It takes a while before the rider notices this. When he does, he stops, puts the horse's tongue back in, and carries on. There are two things which bother me about this. Firstly, I am fully aware large sections of the dressage world, and some of its brighest stars, consider rollkur perfectly ok, but the FEI guidelines state this practice should only be for short periods, allowing the horse to rest. Patrick Kittel apparently rode the horse for two hou...

Archibald, don't eat the bedclothes

My friend Louise sent me this picture today. It's from a children's book with the rather wince-making title For The Wee Ones. I thought, when I read that (because I read the message before I looked at the picture) that the picture was going to be a typical winsome production from the school of artists who think (or who are paid to think) that the child is a thing sent from God and a blissful thing. They had obviously never met a child, and certainly not mine. I should have known Louise better. The artist responsible for Archibald, don't eat the bedclothes slipped this one past the editors. Just look at the poor, broken Mother Rabbit. She knows she has not the faintest chance of being listened to, and poor thing, she is stooped in the way of a mother to whom this is just the lastest in a long line of horror; with nothing good to come. And Archibald is obviously the spawn of the Devil. Just look at those eyes. He'll have the bed after he's finished the bedclothes...

Dick Sparrow - 40 Horse Hitch, and Neil Dimmock's 46 Percherons

Here's a clip of Dick Sparrow driving 40 horses. It's an amazing sight, particularly when the shot changes to show the team from the rear and you get the great incongruity of modern American corporate architecture as a background to the wagon and horses. I love the anticipation in the video: the sense of something amazing being just round the corner is palpable. Thanks to Christina Wilsdon for telling me about this world record 46 Percheron hitch (alas just stills) but you get the idea.
