Boxing Day Meet
Despite my best intentions, I STILL haven’t got a more up to date ‘fat photo’ of Ellie, to compare how the tum is doing, but I can assure you from viewing her side and front on, she is expanding!!!
So today is Boxing Day, traditionally time for a days hunting to blow the cobwebs away!!! Certainly managed that!! I used the GPS tracker on my phone, and we covered 6.05 miles (Boxing Day with our hunt is just a jolly round really!) and reached a top speed of 25mph, with an average of 5.5mph. Will be interesting to set it on a normal day out hunting.
The sight that greeted me this morning, was a small, old enough to know better, grey bouncy ball, rearing at her stable door….think someone knew what was coming!

More bloodhounding!
We do like to go fast!!!
Took Holly out with the Readyfield Bloodhounds on Rememberance Sunday. Absolutly gorgeous day for the meet, and in a lovely setting – Proper Leicestershire countryside.
Achieved a lifetime first – we jumped a 5 bar gate!
A few photos from the morning

Ircos Mysteree Elhee at the SPSS Mare Grading 2011
SPSS Mare Grading 2011
Well, Ellie is graded!! She was an absolute angel all day – couldn’t fault her in any way.
Incredibly hot day, so we got her a day stable rather than standing on the trailer, so she took full advantage, and lay down for a nap.
She is graded into the Preliminary studbook, but has a mark eligible of the Main Studbook, this is due to her lack of pedigree on the dam’s side, which I am going to endevour to find out as much as possible.
A few pics of the girl herself now…
Plaiting before dawn – she wasn’t sure about getting up at this time!
So what’s the party then!?

Preparations for SPSS grading 2011
Preparations are well underway for the SPSS Mare Grading tommorrow!
Ircos Mysteree Elhee (Ellie) is bathed and tucking into a nice haynet, keeping herself clean and shiney for tommorrow.
Our new rugs have arrived too – very exciting
Fantastic quality, and excellent service from The Embriodery Centre, East Leake, Leicestershire – No website I’m afraid.
Wish us luck!
Mare grading ahead, lessons behind!
Ircos Mysteree Elhee (Ellie) is going for SPSS mare grading on Saturday. Its being held at the fantastic Bury Farm Equestrian Centre which has never been used by a studbook before – We are the first!!
Ellie has been beautified, trimmed and tidied to within an inch of her life, and looks fantastic. She is having a bath on Friday – Will take a photo of her in her PJ’s – We use Snuggy Hoods
Looking forwards to the weekend and seeing lots of pony people, and having a catch up – hopefully bringing home a pretty ribbon in the process!
As for the behind bit, I had lessons last night on C. Arctic Kiss (Callie) – just a short, checking we are going the right way session with her, and about 40-45mins on Paler Shade of Grey (Holly) who was absolutly fantastic, and felt very mature in the contact and confident in her work, which is unusal for her, as her biggest issue is tension usually!
