I think many fled, some in greater degrees of haste than others, around 2 years ago. I left as it was impacting on my mental approach to competing too much, I would catch myself thinking "how will I write about this?" during my warm-ups etc! So now I write a blog on my website every so often, in...

It's amazing how our concept of distance has altered since leaving Belgium and coming here! We go 100km (on way) to xc school!

Sadly Missy's foal will be staying behind, she is for the breeder that we loaned her to! But I agree, lovely chunky stamp, the dad really seems to stamp his stock and he has an approved son going to Le Lion this year all being well! I've just written another update, should be my last before...

Thanks! The adventures are still happening, even if we haven't managed to do any internationals this year.

Hello! It's ages since I've been on here, it all looks different! We are still in France, not the place we originally moved to 14 months ago, but one we moved into in January. William's had a fairly quiet season so far due to finances, although he picked up a very nice 2nd place in a decent...

Well done, I remember that first photo!

Nobody has asked how old this horse is? If it is in double figures and has a good record, and is sound on a small circle, then I'd almost certainly take the chance. Very few horses with that many miles on the clock do have clean x-rays, and the other issue is the quality of the x-ray machine...

This is the very nice 5yo mare I am riding for someone, at her first event this weekend (if you're going to have a fence down do it properly) - leg_end, this is the exception that proves the rule: 6hrs to upload to Youtube!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Y4PiS1rYBY

Leg_end I am sorry, but I am not exaggerating when I say I don;t bother trying to watch any videos over 7 seconds long as it's just not do-able here, so you can imagine what uploading is like! And France Telecom say we're not worth extending the line for ;-).

*waves at FF and co* Gamebird told me we were missed. William has just had a week off much to his disgust after the French Champs and we are not in a hurry to get to anything else. Well there isn't anything else for him to go to near here in the near future eventing-wise, so he is going to...

Thanks so much for all the replies! I'm pleased to report William is absolutely fine, we went for a jolly round the vines today and he pulled my arms out :rolleyes:. Maybe other riders can be more clinical about it than me, but I knew my heart wasn't in the right place after that stop, so safer...

I've been in touch with BE, should be fine for the 2*, should put a smile back on our faces. Kirtsyhen, yes that's the table that there's a pic of undressed further on. When I spread my arms out as wide as they would go there was another 30cm left of table :eek:.

As those of you who followed on Equidia will have seen we didn't have the best event, but we were not alone! I've a done a long, warts and all report for Eventing Nation with lots and lots of pics (pro ones, and more behind-the-scenes amateur ones!) if you'd like a look, in much the same style...

Thanks Leg-end!

Ooh fab, you must come and say hello! As long as it's not just before I set off xc ! We'll advertise times once there but if you go to the Ceres stand in the tradestand area we will be hosting a course walk and a drink after my xc on the Saturday, come and join if you can!
