Hey I'm Jamie or Jay-Po as I sometimes get called by both of my mummies.

As you can see I am very handsome and all of my mummies friends agree.

I love to eat, and sleep, then eat a bit more but when I have my feed, I don't like my friends coming near me. It's MY feed hehe :D

Mummy varies my work. Some times we go to the beach which is fun. I get really excited when I know we are going there and trot most of the way there then don't like stopping when we get there. Sometimes when I get to bit too over excited and I have been known to buck and rear but only because I am excited. I would never hurt either of my mummies.

When they come to get me from the field, I don't like going to the gate because I will sink in the mud waiting for them, so I make them come to me so they have sink in the mud instead. It's very funny watching them find the shallowest way to get to me. I just stand there and watch them, then splatter them with mud when we walk back through it.

When I get back to the yard, I get my legs hosed to get the mud off so I don't get Mud Rash. Its FREEZING so no wonder I don't stay still. Mummy just laughs at me and tells me that I'm silly. You wouldn't stand still either if you had freezing cold water being sprayed onto your legs.

When my mummy (either of them) take me into the school, depending on what mood I am in , I will go in an outline or I will just prat about. In my opinion, I look very handsome when I'm in an outline. What do you think?

I have mixed opinions about jumping though. It's not my favourite thing in the world but I will put up with it sometimes and go over them really nicely like this:

But other times I can't be bothered and just stop.

When we go on a hack, mummy takes me for a gallop up and down the common. Its soooo much fun, but my brakes sometimes fail as I'm having so much fun :D

For my mummies birthday, we went for a hack to the beach and we had to get dressed up. Mummy decided that we were going to be pirates. This was my fancy dress

I thought it looked really funky.

That was a fun day but I was shattered when I got home.

Mummy put me out in the paddock and gave me my feed when I had cooled down and the chickens and the ducks always take and chance and come in with me just in case I am feeling kind enough to give them some of my dinner. That also depends what mood I am in. Even if I do give them a little bit, it really is only a little bit. Hehe.

Mummy says that I have lovely paces when I want to but other times I am just lazy and shuffle round the school. Mummy tells me off though if I do that and says its rude. :(

I am generally quite a clean horse as I don't really tend to roll all that much in the field. If I do have mud splatters on me, it's from running round in the mud with me friends or play fighting with them and they aren't hard to get off.

I don't fight a lot but when I do, I tend to build up all my anger then unleash it onto one or two unfortunate souls. Normally the ones that wind me up. Serves them right. Hehe.

There are some very small four legged things on the yard that I think I have heard being referred to as dogs but I'm not too sure. I don't mind having them around. They chase after each other and play fight which is quite funny to watch. I also marvel at them as I didn't know it was possible to have something so small!

I love being fussed most of the time but sometimes I just want to be left alone and mummy knows when I'm in not in the mood but 99.9% of the time I love being given attention and you can do almost anything to me so long as I have a big juicy hay net to keep me happy :D

My mummy helps her friends with their horses as well, but I don't get jealous as I know that she loves me more than all of them put together so I stand in my stable patiently and call to her whenever she walks past :D

One of my favourite things to do it have my molasses lick then smear it all over everyone and watch their reactions. Mummy just laughs though and says "Oh Jay-Po!"Her and her friends laugh at me when I have had my lick as my moustache turns orange. I think it's funny too until I can't get it white again then I start to get annoyed. Hehe.

Other times I come in from the field with a muddy moustache and mummy has to clean it with the hose, which I end up drinking from at the same time. Haha

When I get back from a hack or after I have finished being worked in the school, I get put out in the paddock and I love nothing more than having a good roll

After a fun packed day of eating and sleeping, being ridden then more eating and sleeping, mummy always comes puts my nice snuggly warm rug on and gives a HUGE goodnight hug and kiss, gives me a carrot and says goodnight.

Im tired so I'm going to sleep,

Night Night

Jay-Po
