Snows gone! Woo hoo. Rode yesterday, back to usual routine from now on. Show Sunday was cancelled, one next Sunday postponed as couldn't get ridden. Nothing planned until Feb.

Some harbro have in stock. They should be able to draw from another shop.

Still sheet ice everywhere. Can't even ride at home.

Nothing. Currently blizzard conditions. 5 inches of snow in the field, 3-4 on the yard. Horses are out and happy looking for grass and they have a bale of they want it.

My 2025 was jinxed with soundness issues. We got to a few things but not consistently. We've turned a corner now, and yesterday has our 1st canter after months of rehab. Hoping we stay sound and fulfil our 2026 plans 🤞.

We're confirmed, not quite in same position but "next door". Got some Crufts exclusives, to be revealed in the new year.
