Hope you all had a great Christmas!
I was lucky enough to get a helmetcam from my parents for Christmas, and it was put to good use the following day at the Atherstone boxing day meet ! I wanted to plait in the morning so set my alarm for 5am, I couldn't sleep so woke up at 3:30 instead got to the yard for 5:30 in the pitch black. My horses live out and the fields are far back from the stables so it was a long cold trek at that time! fortunately they all came galloping down so didn't have to walk far, but it was a bit unnerving to have a few horses galloping at you in the dark !
Got to the meet in plenty of time all nice and spotlessly clean, I was riding my superstar 15.2hh Finn He hunted last season but I've been hunting my youngster this season so it was his first time out, but I know he's very well behaved and of course he was perfect. I was riding with my sister on the buckskin pony, just have to give her a mention as she has been through a lot, had a pacemaker put in at age 13, has severe ulcerative colitis and now has an ileostomy bag and weak bones. She also has a few other problems but she is doesn't let it hold her back, and jumped in at the deep end with her first attempt at hedge hopping and I couldn't be more proud of her! On top of all this, her pony is very strong and a devil for refusing and it takes a skilled rider to hunt her, and she has come on leaps and bounds since my sister has been riding her
Ok on to the photos..
