Elf On A Shelf
...
So it is almost exactly a year since I posted my first mini racing blog. That was the day I pooped my pants jumping Bucket Heid up the logs and tyres. If you missed it here it is:

What has happened in this year? Well of the horses that are in that blog post Cool has just retired and left today for his new home hunting which I just know he will love!
Midnight is just back and was absolutely sceptic on the gallops today! He will settle down and be the lovely big horse I know so well in a few days.
Pony is has lost the love of racing and is going to go hunting to see if that perks him up a bit if not he will be looking for a special home.
My wee Pocket Rocket- Sky Khan is just as wild as ever, totally loving life and running well!
And then we get to Bucket Heid. He ran in 3 bumpers last year winning his first one in emphatic style. Documented here:

He has summered well and has come back physically and mentally stronger. Cargo is a gentle giant who only ever wishes to please. Today was his very first spin over hurdles at home and this was the result ...
Aeroplane or what! Of course I was not on him! Jumping over 1.5ft tyres is more than my heart can take let alone 3ft hurdles! He ate up the ground going into them, met everyone of them on the perfect stride all 3x up and left them plenty of air. All the while making it look totally effortless! I absolutely adore this big horse! And I am excited to see what the future holds for him!
