Happy New Year! Who would have thought I’d be around in 2005?
Thanks to everyone at Riders Lodge, I am living like a King, oh no, a “Prince”. Have daily
inspection of the grass, indulge in 4 Chef prepared meals/day (Chef Zaul not Chef Leon).
On New Year’s day, it was weight check by no other than our CEO, Mr. Sennett. For the record, I
have added 17 kgs in two months. My legs look smashing, with only a tiny body sore left that is
lovingly nursed by Uncle M’saad and my skin - a natural shiny sheen.
Believe it or not . .. The tooth fairy, Mr. Keith showed up 2
weeks ago and fixed all our smiles. And rumour has it, my teeth may
have not seen a dentist for at least 6 years, actually I’m not telling them…Never ever!
It could only be my handsome, cool look - I feel like a star -
I mean I get extra attention and real TLC from “soooo many”. And
get this, Jay tried a saddle on me (easy piesy”), then tested me
on the lunge and just as you guessed, Prince Chester passed with
flying colours in all gaits… walk, trot and even a little canter.
Not easy at the start with my pitiful muscles (what’s left of them).
And as a surprise, Catz decided to show me the good old time of being
ridden on the grass. Thank god, for a while I was worried I might end
up only as playmates to Jenny and Baba (the odd couple goats)!
ow I have my own fleet of professional riders… Mr. Sennett,
Jay, Catz and more recently young Ellesse. Thanks for your tender hands -
just what I need to get back into shape. Hey guys, let’s keep riding together
and pretty soon I’ll be ready for my new sparkling shoes.
Pinch me …’hope it’s not just a dream. So long for now – I’ll keep you posted but remember to say hello on your next visit.
