Micklewood and Sheepwash

Ducks were quacking loudly on the pond in the woods next to the stables they had
heard the laughing and decided to join in even though they did really know what they
were laughing about.
Quack quack quack quack
Laughter is infectious like that you know, once one person starts everyone just seems
to join in, even the baby swallows had gathered in a long row on the manage fence to
enjoy the comedy slip ups of the practice jumps.
“Ignore them Mazy” Paddy said still slightly grinning “come on Mazy let’s give it a go”
“Mazy it’s your turn next” Symphony was trying to appear regal and in charge as a show
judge should do, “Ok but does Rocket want to go next he looks like he is ready to burst
with excitement” she said with a slightly trembling voice trying to put off having a go
at jumping as long as possible.
“ye ye can I have a go next” Rocket raced towards the first jump and launched himself
into the air about ten times the height of the tiny jump and about three times longer
“wee this is great fun he shouted” with excitement , his legs looked like they were not
attached to the rest of his body, his rear end seemed to take ages to reach the other
side of the jump while his front legs were already heading down the mange to the next
jump, “watch out Rocket you will run into the gate if you don’t turn the corner”
everyone took a step back away just in case he spun out of control.
“It’s ok I can make it” yahoo” Everyone held their breath and crossed their fingers
Story teller: you will have to wait until next time to hear what happens with Rocket,
Paddy, Mazy and the others on Micklewood and sheepwash
