I did have but Connor has gone - He wasnt putting on any weight at all so needs more time in the field just grazing and will prob just go as SJer what with his water issue so just Spider going.
Wish I had more close so I could take her to another and take me new one!
If the vetting goes well!
Really looking forward to it nxt week sounds like great fun
I know is a shame but thinking about it he was always a bit on the big side measuring about 18hh!!!
This one is like another Spider! Another mare, 16.1hh 4yr old, irish bred, I hope to do PAVO classes with it, really lovely horse from what I saw today, very excited!
So now have two mares
never had one b4 and now have 2! of course providing the vetting goes ok this week
Good boy snoop - had thought it didn't look much like him in photos, the clipping explains it! I think the jumping mark would have to reflect the fact that he put two in the double. They do have to look for potential, but ultimately they can only judge what they see in front of them, and whilst he displayed cleverness they would have to put a horse who made the striding easily above him I think (if they had been the same in other respects round the course). By building it long they are testing scopiness, as they can't whack the fences up. If the marks were quite close I think you could have made it into the top ten had the double come right for you.
I know - gutted about this weekend. I planned for Marchington since Dec last year to be our first! So....yes have entered Aston, going to try and do Eland Lodge Unaff the week before but might have to go XC schooling too. I think the more I do in quick succession the better she will be and then I can give her August off.
Good luck with Ascott - that's the new one isn't it? Very interested to hear what that is like.
It's raining again here at the moment - at this rate I'll be taking up water skiing!
Well done again for yesterday, He's Da Man
She did very well, Dressage was good she got 24, 30 for jumping and 11 and half for the end bit!
But she was really pleased, it was the best bit of jumping she has ever done!! And left all the jumps up!! she normally goes round with her head in the air at 100mph knocking them all down!!
