wednesday BD for us today! Isaac had 2x overall wins in the medium tests at Kelsall today. Yes we turned up scruffy because I had a million other things to do today, but plaits don't win prizes - hahaha! We even came home with prize money for the first class because there were enough starters...

Much easier than carrying a usb around too :) I've got all my mp3s stored on my phone and on a Google drive, so I literally can't forget them - it there's WiFi I'll always be able to share them with whatever venue needs them.

Sending an MP3 is much lower risk - they don't fail like CDs and don't require anything to be burned. Very happy to demo to anyone how to do it - you can create them from any CDs you have and then you can email them as needed. Myerscough now also just work off MP3s - I think we'll see all...

I think unaffiliated has always been dire - but probably my awareness of the direness has always been there. Don't get me wrong - see plenty of awfulness at the lower level BS stuff too. I don't bother going BS or showjumping in general because it just makes me feel a bit depressed. They run...

I maintain that for u16s and for anything under 90cm we should not be jumping against the clock - judge on style - equitation jumping. Reward good riding. Would lead to such a better picture.

I think I am in love with Jarillo!

I loved watching the Prices beautifully navigate 6 horses home clear between them (and 2 by Cosby Green who's based with them). All ridden so considerately without pushing or taking risks. No, that means they're not sat at the top of the leaderboard, but makes for lovely watching. Everything...

Corimiro looks like a proper superstar

Yes, he jumps insanely high over everything. And has still stayed very sound!!

Great to see Corvett jump a beautiful round - 18yo and has now jumped xc around all of the 5*s in the northern hemisphere. Just needs to come out tomorrow to complete. What a horse, partnership and record!

He looks like THE most fun on xc and sj, but circles are not his thing 🫣

On the TBs front though - Humble Glory showjumped incredibly - round of the day. Finished on his dressage score, but a shame that was a 46 haha

Oh I.SO hope they get the job done tomorrow. A properly gorgeous horse and partnership - and cost just a few hundred NZ dollars

This IKEA step stool has been serving me well since 2018 - and it's never alone in the lorry park https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/bekvaem-step-stool-white-40178888/

It's just so unsurprising in showing. Horses heads being tied in has been a well known "training technique" for many decades. Absolutely grim. I posted on here last year about a very successful showing producer putting photos online of them having a happy morning doing some schooling with their...
