Ut på kjøretur

Hvordan trene hester i møkkaværet? Vel, hestebilen trengte en kjøretur, og diesel. Og gutta har ikke lastetrent eller kjørt på månedsvis. Selve lastingen tok de sedvanlige 40 sekundene, og selv om det ikke akkurat var hurrarop når vi kjørte ut fra tunet sto begge fint til vi kom fram til bensinstasjonen. Det var noe krøll med kortautomaten slik at vi ble stående ekstra lenge, og da kortsluttet det litt hos Biloxi. Han stepper og småhopper så hele bilen gynger, og Santee blir litt urolig han også. Men det er ikke værre drama enn at det går, og de roer seg så snart vi begynner å kjøre igjen. Det gikk i tillegg overraskende fint å laste ut. Santee har jo for uvane å hoppe over lemmen, og jeg regnet i grunn med at han var så gira at han kom til å gjøre det i dag også. Men jammen tuslet han ikke pent ned. Flinke hester!

What to do with the horses in the pouring rain? The lorry needed to be taken for a drive, and to have it's tank filled. The horses haven't been loaded or driven anywhere for months. So there you go. The loading took about 40 seconds, and even if they didn't seem particularly thrilled to be moving they both stood well for the drive. At least until we arrived at the petrol station, and there were some troubles with the card machine so it took a few minutes extra. Biloxi was NOT pleased and proceeded to "impress" with his tap-dancing skills and a few other funky moves. Santee gets a bit stressed by him, but all in all the drama isn't all that bad, and they calm right down as soon as the lorry starts moving again. And I was pleasantly surprised that Santee loaded perfectly, walking down the ramp rather than jumping off it. Time well spent!
