@sarah.oxford that's fantastic what an amazing feeling that musr be. Congratulations 🎊

That's some travelling STR! I also admire your stamina. We have a show tomorrow about an hour away looks like another wet one. Can't practice anything at home as so wet. Fed up of the rain.Girls don't even want to go for a wee never mind walk!

Totally shocked. A very cold day today but a good one. In the graded 3 to 5 Daz won the G3 and Pebs the G4 jumping. Both clear and within the time 😍🥳 In the agility I cocked up and got Daz eliminated 😬 Then Pebs won the G4 clear but 2.6 time pens annoyingly. All felt a bit unreal tbh. Took girls...

I follow her too and was really sad. She really makes you realise just what they do with their horses to give them the best chance in their races. The flat schooling making them carry themselves properly. When you follow someone you feel like you know the horses so well. Was so so sad.

Have you seen the changes re the YKC and DD regarding passes.

Just back after a very long and cold day 🥶 left home at 6.45 for an hours drive. Daz was in first at 8.30. Combined 123 agility and a tough course. Got all her contacts but decided she didnt know how to weave.....but tbf the entry was really hard. So 10 plus time. Pebs well she flew in the 4/5...

Ues and I watched loads and thoight how good it had been with very few falls. Then yesterday which was so tough to see 😥

It's the social side that makes the difference. Cheering each other on, having someone to give honest feedback, the videos the coffee and cake together it's all part of the day and occasionally to celebrate with 😂Whilst the matrix pees me off there is no A4A in the East so I'll stick with KC...

I had a big Haygain and I loved it and I think they are the best steamer. I sold mine easily when the horses went so keep checking Marketplace.

I guess we're quite lucky round here. Rings separated with the metal barriers and often have the thicker mesh attached too on areas where seeing other dogs could be a problem. 3 clubs running shows within an hours drive all at equestrian venues so usually decent parking, cafe and loos. Do like...

That looks like it's just builders netting? Very poor course design IMO and the set up looks like an accident waiting to happen at any level ever mind G1-3. I have just tried to put some stuff in my car ready for my early start tomorrow and I can't open the doors as they are so frozen 😬 Bodes...

Awful at Kempton and you have to wonder about the ground. 3 lost 😢

Our training cancelled too and with my holiday away plus Christmas the girls have done nothing. However, sometimes a break does them good so if I go Sunday it will be interesting to see how it goes. Last show I went to was there when there was rain of biblical proportions and looks like this...

I think for me, that whilst I do it for fun I am competitive otherwise for me I don't see the point. I know I'll never go up the grades to 7 but I feel that my progression opportunities are severely limited by the change to the matrix. To get wins with only time pens, which therefore don't count...

STMR the restriction in graded runs is tough. Especially for those of us that struggle at the best of times. We have a show next Sunday for which I currently have no enthusiasm sadly. I feel as if I've lost my mojo 🙄
