Hi all!

Dad and I are sick of this weather.... I'm supposed to have had a couple of XC schooling sessions but things have been closed!!!!
The good news we are in at Oasby (open BE100), Lincoln (open BE100) and Gatcombe (novice)

Hopefully we'll get to have a practice befor hand but if not at least I know my way round Oasby!!!!

Well sorry didn't post last week, but Dad had a bit of a holiday, and went skiing.He was away for five days so I had fun in the field. Since he's been back we've not done a great deal, but Dad has told me that we are entered for our first 2 events of the season!!!!! I can't wait, we've been galloping a few times so I'm fit and up for it. We are apparently going to do some XC schooling on Saturday as part of our preparation, so hopefully will report then.

Hi again, Dad just found some photos of our CCI1* (2009 and 2010), thought   we'd share!!!
 This was a fence Dad was really worried about in 2009, big skinny off a turn then four strides to an open ditch. Don't know what the fuss was about

This table was bigger than it looked at the top of a hill after a bit of a gallop, this year dad was a bit more relaxed (although a lot more knackered!!)

Thanks to Jo Prestwich (joanna.prestwich@sky.com) for permission to use!!!

Countdown to Oasby!!

Well, been out twice this week. Clear roud SJ at Vale View, and then a private less on on Friday. Not a lot to report, Dad still a bit tense show jumping but getting there. We had another lesson today, bit of flat work then some jumping. Had another gallop in the fields on Thursday, and a play on Saturday. I'm not that keen on the wind but Dad has been telling eveyone how calm I've been!! Especially when the wind took the door off its runners at Vale View on Friday, Dad was a bit rattled, not sure if he was worried about how I'd react, or how the yard owner would react if it had blown off!!!!

I'm told ther's not much happening next week as Dad is going skiing (whatever that is!), so won't be anything to report for a fortnight! See y'all
