Its been raining since about 5am, and its continued all day.
Popped the girls (Holly & Callie) out this morning, but brought them back in at lunchtime, which they were very grateful for. Think I’ll be riding in the indoor later – I much prefer riding outdoors.
Holly did another session of canter work yesterday – used the stopwatch, and did 1 min walk/2 min canter/1 min walk/2 min canter pattern. She is much fitter than I thought, as that was no effort at all.
Two hunter trials coming up – one at Prestwold Hall, a lovely local venue, that hosts several hunt meets, is a wedding and conference venue, and has a racetrack where you can go for sessions to drive supercars! The other is at Osberton Estate, which is again lovely – it is the venue for the Lycetts 6/7 yr old finals. Last time we went there it was axle deep mud!
A friend of mine, Chantal, has set up an online tack shop, and has spent an awful lot of time discovering good quality pony sized items, so we will be enlarging our wardrobes with some fantastic new cross country boots from her shortly. Take a look at EquiChoice
Also on the countdown to Ellie foaling with around 12 weeks left to go – very exciting!
Unfortunatly my hand seems to be getting worse, so its time for a human vet appointment – fingers crossed its not too serious.
