    Olympia

    The chestnut was definitely lame. Was awful to watch, perhaps if we all email something will be done to help the poor things. Also wondered if the grey was lame at certain points.

    If you were a horse.....

    Id be a section A, short and can be mistaken for being cute but sassy beyond belief 😂 Or perhaps a Shitland as I have been known to disappear from situations I don't like...

    What breeds of horse do you NOT like?

    I'm sure many of you will disagree but I wouldn't touch an Arab with a barge pole! Give me a nice hairy cob any day!

    The dark emperor

    I'm not sure to be honest, maybe just google Hillgarth stud. There was one on horse quest not too long ago and I believe he was 148.

    The dark emperor

    He was a gypsy cob. I think he's being brought down levels because of his hocks but is not retiring just yet. You may like Hillgarth ponies, they're fast, quirky Sec Ds.

    Riding school trailblazers...

    I ended up loaning from the riding school which helped me learn to school and ride without an instructor before moving on to a share / loan outside of the school so it might be worth enquiring at your riding school! Also if you do want to look for a share preloved is great for finding one...

    I have a confession

    I am very sad to hear this as I will miss your reports! Rather impressed by the show jumping moves. Best of luck with the move and if you struggle to find homes for the horses they are more than welcome to stay with me! :D

    Riding school trailblazers...

    This is exactly how I started off competing! It's lovely to be able to compete without owning your own and an opportunity many people don't get in riding schools. Well done on your results, they're fab scores! Keep us updated on how you get on in the future! :-)

    Is three tests in a day too much?

    I would say give it a go at your next outing and if he feels good stick with it. If not then you haven't lost anything and can go back to 2 tests! Best of luck, your horse is absolutely gorgeous!

    Cross Country Tape - Kind of market research....

    After searching high and low for specific colours I have usually ended up settling with black or buying boots with straps the colour I wanted! I would definitely be interested and know a few others that would be as well.

    Weekend Plans
