This season's plans

Yes i know i have actually made plans!

Blondie will be shown as a lead rein pony at a few local pc shows.  

Jessie and Taani will hopefully do some pc level flat classes

Now i have had a few people come see Amy and as each one ends up not really being suitable for whatever reason, and the show season quickly approaches i get the urge to keep her and grow some balls to do some more jumping.

I do actually enjoy jumping but the big jumps scare me, and i've been thinking if the horse can jump the bigger ones happily why change?

Then we come to a slight dilemma, i will have 3 competition horses and 1 double float. Well ODE's put Blondie and Taani out so that will be easy, and ill have to carefully plan the others and take either Taani and Blondie, or Amy by herself cause i don't think Taani will handle floating with amy as she can be a little bossy to those below her and taani's quite a girly girl so would prob get her knickers in a twist. lol 

Well as this all progresses i will update in the meantime the first outing for me and Amy will be the xcountry training day at QE2 on the 31st of August (as long as the weather is nice).

Now these will be a minimum of pre-training level and i've only ever jumped intro xcountry, so this will be the start of my ball growing experience, wether it continues is another story.

Crap weather

Well i have hardly ridden in the last 3-4 weeks and starting to get withdrawal symptoms!

I had last friday off but only managed to get all four's feet done, managed a small ride on the sunday and its been raining or i've been working the rest of the time. :(

This sunday is supposed to be fine yippee, i've got someone coming to see Amy (she better be on her best behavior) and ill be worming, and starting the dreaded job of grooming out winter coats and trimming/pulling manes, tails etc.  I must get brave and try the clipping thing sometime in my life. lol

As for today i'm going to brave the freezing cold and showers to move my horses from their hill paddock to back across the road, because they're getting bitchy all being together and Amy's still far to light for my liking so needs more grass.

Then i have to repair winter covers and swap back to synthetic rugs for blondie and taani to stop anymore cover rub because they're supposed to be going out to shows this season.
