Hi guys,

I'm Diamond.

My absolute favourite thing to do it eat.

I could do it all day... but mummy won't let me as she said I will get fat if I do :( I disagree!!

Mummy wakes me up at stupid o clock in the morning and puts me out with all my friends. You'll never guess what I do until she comes to get me again? EAT! All my friends and I love rolling. We sometimes even have rolling competitions to see who can get the muddiest. Its so much fun. Seeing our mummies faces when they come to get us in is funny as well. They never look very happy. Hehe.

When mummy comes to the field to get me, she calls my name...but I decide that I don't hear her. She calls again and again until she gives up. Its so funny to see her trying to walk through all of the mud to come and get me. I just stand there and watch. Hehe.

When we get out of the gate, I'm a good boy and walk nicely by her side. Some of my friends decide to take their owners for a walk of their own and go to the nearest bush and have a feast. I don't do that. I'm a good boy...most of the time.

The first thing mummy does when we get back to my home, is wash my legs and hooves to get all of the mud off. I hate it. Its FREEZING and its wet! I normally dance around to try and get out of the firing line but she just says "Oh Diamond I do wish you would stand still!" Most of the time she succeeds anyway.

Mummy then grooms me which I love and sometimes I even fall asleep. It changes what she does with me every now and again. Sometimes she free schools me which is fun. She just lets me go around the school not attached to anything. She tries to tell me what to do but normally i just gallop round. A bit like this...

Sometimes she jumps me as well. I love doing this most of the time, but some of them are really scary colours-I do try and be brave for my mummy and go over them anyway.

Mummy was very proud of me that day :)

A few weeks ago mummy took me to a show so her friend plaited me tail and make it look all posh and she put purple glitter in it which made me look like a girl! I wasn't impressed!

The jumping course looked big and scary but when it was my turn, it wasn't that bad. I didn't knock any of them down and mummy was very pleased with me. I got loads of big pats and cuddles when I had finished :)

When we got home, my mummy gave me another groom and told me what a good boy I had been and that she was so proud of me :)

I don't remember what happened after that for a while because I fell asleep. Jumping is very hard work you know!

When I did wake up, I had a nice warm fleece on and a lovely big feed waiting for me.

Mummy gave me a big kiss and told me how much she loves me and said goodnight.

I ate my feed (it was yummy!) and then went to bed. Which is what I am about to do now.

Night night

love Diamond
