Doing two Novices HC on Saturday. First time out for monster horse since June; since then he's had surgery (under GA) on one front leg and a bad strain on the other, so its a huge deal for him to be competing again
. Fingers crossed he gets to Saturday without doing anything stupid.
And fingers crossed I don't get killed on Saturday

sit tight!!! sounds like he will be thrilled to be out!!! hope he enjoys himself!
LOL. Thanks Laura! He does tend to look longingly at the lorry, so hopefully he will be happy to be out again! But not too happy, I hope (medium canter might be, erm, interesting)!!!!!
Saturday am having saddle done then hacking Twiglet for 1st time in 6 weeks - eeeek, wish me luck! Am hoping for a quiet walk round the park, am pretty much guaranteed spooking, jogging and possibly some bucking and bolting!
Sunday I have a lesson, first one in ages
Good luck all competing, esp those at the regionals!
Aww Abi, hope everything works out ok, fingures crossed....
I have FIRST ODE OF THE SEASON
Heehee, hopefully if weather not bad.... SO excited, and been off all week, hopefully going XC with Lucinda Green tomorrow if doesnt freeze hard overnight
First showjumping of the year for the older guys!!! Hopefully taking 4 horses but 3 riders. Want to just do 1.10m with Flynn but don't know if i can be arsed to wait as have to be there for the 95cm for the others, so may just do the 1.05m. He was a sh*t in the school yesterday, tried to scare him but didn't work, still just pops the enornous fences in front of him!!!
Then sunday will find somewhere to take the baby!! Was a star jumping today, did a couple of 'wow' jumps, excited now!!!
Good luck everyone!!!
saturday - teaching first thing then off to meet Cazza. Late pm start serious dressage training with the ginger one after a very successful first xc schooling session yesterday.
Sunday off to highcross ec for SJ with the ginger one for more filler de-spooking.
V excited as Jenny and I are off to our first competition for 6 weeks on Sunday. She's had a bit of time off with lameness but is now back to full fitness. We are going to the Intro Show at Holmside Hall. I'm not sure whether to be a complete wuss and just do the 70cm and 80cm open to ease our way back in or to be brave and just go straight in the BN. I'm having a lesson this afternoon so I'm going to see how that goes and what my instructor thinks and go from there.

good luck twiglet - i know what that feels like! not fun!
Sat I'm schooling Lou, Eric and Rob, Sun was meant to be taking Lou bsja on a ticket but will be so expensive for the sake of jumping a 2 minute round so just going to give him a pop at home (we were only going to keep someone company who is affiliated so I'll just go and cheer her on instead), then in the afternoon I'm going to try a horse that the owner wants competing so fingers crossed will be another nice project for me
Fingers crossed for Addingotn today - got up early (very) and helped friend get her horse ready and boxed - but have to come to school to work today
, so can't be there to watch.)Off to Weston Lawns on Saturday - fun eventing and stressage, then area 5 SJ qualifiers at Solihull - so hope it's warmer than the last time i was there!

Thanks Jenbleep......this is the worst time of year for hacking him anyway as it's the start of spring fever, so I think he's going to be rather a handful
