2011
It doesn't look so big from here

Monday 27 February 2012

Well, 13 days to go to the start of the season. We've had a few sessions over solid fences, and I can't wait!! Literally!! Dad had to b quite strong at times. Afetrwards the yard manager told dad that the fences were set up for Mark Kyles 4* horse! so dad is veeery happy with me.

Dad is off for what is becoming an annual event - skiing (what ever that is), so I'm having a few days break from him, anyway no a lot else to report.....

Wednesday 15 February 2012

Well it's been a quiet 2 weeks, dad hasn't taken me off site yet, partly because of the weather. We've been working in the indoor school which is fine, but a bit tight, so the last two days when we have got outside I have been a bit naughty.

Dad has already entered us for Oasby and he's planning to enter Lincoln (100) and Staford (100 plus).

There is also a new addition to the family, dad's wife has bought a new horse (Treasure) so we will actually be hacking out this weekend.

Speak soon...

Saturday 4 February 2012

Well another week has passed, and at least I've got some news...Dad has renewed my B membership and entered our first event....off to Oasby in 5 weeks!!

Sunday 29 January 2012

Another quiet week, lots of schooling, and a jump lesson with the French bloke, he didn't scare me this week so I didn't jump on him...we have an understanding. One the plus front he has some contraption which means dad can come into a big jump and not wave his hands like a conductor!! Also this weekend entries opened for Oasby!!!! Yey!!!

Monday 23 January 2012

Another quiet week, mostly flat work. Friday and Saturday dad hacked me out and I did show off a bit, but in my defense it is mild and I am verrrry fit!! Had a jumping lesson on Sunday with this Cadre Noire chap which was fun, dad has threatened to take me out arena eventing next weekend but we'll have to see if he does the entering thing..he's still not very organised.

Only a week til entries open, obviously dad still needs to register me but hey early days!!

Sunday 15 January 2012

Ok it's been a very quiet week, Dad has just schooled me mainly in a dressage saddle, euch!! Had a jump on Friday after a long hack out but ground was too hard Sat and Sun to do much of anything. Maybe w'll go out next weekend.......

Sunday 8 January 2012

Well dad had a lesson today but it wasn't a lunge lesson, rather nearly 50 mins without stirrups. Must admit it was better for me not going round in a small circle, though I did feel sorry for dad, as the jump saddle hasn't much padding!!!

The trainer seemed very good, although he did push dad very hard. Used to be at the cadre noire, wherever that is!! Well that's it for me see you soon!!
