4. I don’t think the saddle fits
5. He’s got a loose shoe
6. I’m so tired, I just have no energy
7. I’ve got a sore ankle/foot/wrist
8. The school needs harrowing
9. He’s on a day off
10. I’m running late
11. He’s semi retired (aged 5)
12. It looks like it’s going to rain
13. I need to mow the lawn
14. I’ve left my hat at home
15. I wormed him yesterday, best give him a few days off
16. He’s just been shod
17. He looks upset
18. The menage is in use right now
19. He doesn’t look quite right
