Last week I had a first meeting since more than a year (covid!) with One of My German Friends. Since We both are fanatic horsewomen, We had decided to spend most of the day riding. Normally I took hans to meetings with My German Friends, but since he has deceased (covid!), I had ordered My servant michael to join Me. michael is not as experienced as hans when it comes to serving during riding trips, but actually the choice of servants is limited.
I did have a few online contacts with serious candidate servants during the covid-epidemia, but finally all of them dropped out. The most promising one did not want to wait until the end of the covid-crisis for a meeting and did no effort to please Me with a little poem or drawing or so. he never surprised Me like that. I know it is old fashioned of Me, but I feel it is the online counterpart of giving a Mistress roses or chocolates, or…
It was hard to believe that someone will be a good slave and work hard if he does not even takes the time to surprise Me with such things. Finally he claimed that I would not take him as My slave because of his looks! This is absolute nonsense since I seldom take physical looks into account but mainly consider loyalty, obedience and the level of submission of a slave.
So, this emerging relation ended after months, right before we were about to meet in real life. No problem I thought since there was another candidate-slave on My list. However, this "substitute" appeared to be lazy and squeamish and already left after a first "meeting" during which he gave up and left after less than an hour!
As a result there is only servant michael and servant frank to choose from when having a horseback trip.
Anyway, he did quite well although he is not that familiar with horses. We only had to reprimand and correct him with Our crops a few times. Madam Petra's slaveboy however clearly was more at ease with horses around. She is an active dressage rider and apparently had not only drilled her horse… also Her slave carl seemed to have his part of the dressage! Since We hadn't met for more than a year, We had a lot to talk about. Due to this, our slaves had a rather calm and easy day, apart from the fact We had them run along and had them tongue-clean Our boots each time We mounted again. Afterall one cannot expect Ladies like Us to ride in dirty boots! And indeed in some spots the ground was still muddy and they had quite a job tongue-cleaning the soles! Especially when they had to keep up the pace to lick Our boots while We walked further. Also the horses did not like them walking so near and carl and Michael both had to be very attentive not to get kicked by Our horses since both horses tried that several times. Of course We had to punish Our slaves for irritating our rides since this was annoying for Us and might have even endangered Us. Luckily for them, We both are experienced riders and We did not fall. If this would have happened…
Anyway, our slave had a relatively quiet day since also dinner We had in a restaurant (without them). Lunch however was prepared by slave carl, while servant michael was used as Our footstool and served Us drinks and snacks at a fingersnap.
I was so happy to see My Friend back after so many months and We decided to start Our regular meetings with Our other Friends again in the next weeks or months. 2022 promises to be a good year!! I am looking already forward to it!
