....in the beginning

In the beginning came Blue. An ex-racehorse who is all style and no substance. Stunning to look at but with a decidedly indeterminable nature. He feels all people are beneath him, and tries his hardest when ridden work is attempted to put them there. His favourite activities involve gazing away into the distance with a wistful look on his face, inferring that anywhere out there in the world would be better than with this incompetent buffoon. Second to this is galloping around like a crazed gazelle, threatening to jump out of any enclosed area and gnashing with his teeth in an attempt to convince me that he could 'take me out' with a single gnaw. Unfortunately it didn't and in our mutual misfortune we ended up bound together (in a metaphorical although occasionally physical sense) for eternity, like a couple who married in a heady rush of 1960's enthusiasm only to find they now cant stand the sight of each other but are too far into the institutionalization process to abandon their quest to make each other miserable.
So this blog is our story (I shall try my best to make it unbiased from his point of view, but he's a miserable old knacker at times) and the story of how despite the apparent apprehension on both our parts, we were soon joined by 3 other crazy, chomping beasts!
