1st XC schooling of the year

Took the beast to Somerford Park and he went pretty well on the Farm Ride. When he was at the front (there were 3 of us), he was fine, ditto when the others were out of sight.

However, if he wasn't the 1st, he tanked and sometimes ran out. Stopping then was a major problem - he managed to clamp his jaw on to a Waterford!

have a look at www.activerider.co.uk they do horsecamps at somerford - the camps train on the 40 acres xc schooling area - might be a good idea for a bit of schooling?
