Aww, I adore my ponies

[Super_Kat]

Took the lorry out for it's maiden drive with a horse in the back today so I could move storm and Allie (my 2yo) over to _Claire_'s livery yard (_Claire_ is lovely! It was so nice to finally meet her!). Allie bless her looked like a little native pony, she's so fuffy and muddy

Both girls went on th box fine and travelled brilliantly. Both got turned out together (bearing in mind storm hasn't been in a field since the beginning of January) they both stuck their heads down and ate! I was relieved, I had images of them charging around and going straight through the fence

This evening I decided to pop Olympic over a few fences and bless him, he was so good!

I put some fences up and when I brought him into the arena and stood there thinking "*meep* I can't jump these" and my face looked a bit like this >>>>

We popped a x-pole then jumped a 90cm ascending spread (only a narrow one) a few times and there was a treble up (x-pole - 1 stride - 90cm upright - 1 stride - 1m upright) we had a crack a that but the distancs between the fences were a bit short for him and he went a bit big over the x-pole and took out the uprights giving a huge buck 2 strides over the last one

so I lengthened the distances and popped through again and he did it perfectly. He's such a saint and I can't wait to take him jumping on Wednesday

Sorry, pointless post but I thought I'd share

Pimm's and cheese cake for those that have read all of it

Awww Thank You!!! You're lovely too

Just been out again to check on Storm and Allie and they were.....yep eating still! lol.
Funniest thing though was i walked down the drive to put the dogs to bed and Flo and Lottie are STILL by the gate starring at them! LMAO. They have a real fasination with them, although i can see why as they are so lovely.

So Kate is my first official Livery, YAY! And first official HHO livery.

What a good boy Olympic is. Well Done, 1m is HUGE to me (2ft is huge to me). Hope you have fun at Addington on Wednesday.
