I thought I had been quiet for a bit long although I know a fair few of you follow my progress (or lack of it) via my website.
Sarnie is looking well (note I didn't say going well although there is definitely some improvement
) and next Thursday (weather allowing
) we are off to Gloucestershire for a week. We are entered at Summerhouse on the Friday to try our first ever Advanced Mediums
Seeing in a Novice BD test last month (highest level at the show) we managed only 61% I am not sure whether we have bitten off more than we can chew
. Hopefully we will then do the BSJA show their on Sunday before travelling over to Talland where we are booked in for 3 days training with Pammy and Charlie. Sarnie is not impressed at the thought of all that dressage!
THe big news is I bought a new horse and he (yes he
) has been home 2 days. Meet Ashley
I bought him as a project horse but that the more I see of him the more I like him and think he may a good number 2. He is ID x TB rising 7 but done nothing never having left the home he went to as a foal. He strikes me a bit as an overgrown pony (he is 15.3) but clever with it and has a nice jump. Just hacking him for the minute as he is very unfit having not been ridden much - went out for a ride yesterday of under an hour and at half way he was pooped! So a few weeks roadwork and hacking before I get cracking on him. Think he could be an awful lot of fun.
