    Weekend plans.

    Yard clear round jumping tonight - someone is bringing a shetland for me (!), then off to Pachesham tomorrow for a PC show where we will be doing a number of classes side saddle... Sunday and Monday, probably just hacking and mooching. Good luck with your Buzz sittage, Twiglet x x

    Weekend plans

    Start riding side saddle in earnest again...first show of the season is just over two weeks away. And first ODE is about 3 weeks, so also some work to be put in astride as well.

    Letting nature take its course?

    Crossing all fingers - and making Apollo doing some half pass as well for luck - God, I hope he comes right!
