CONGRATS mp, hope the weather isn't too bad and that your day is everything you and your OH (now husband!) wanted it to be. Good luck to everyone competing or getting out and about, try not to get blown away...
This morning we did some loading practise with Chilli. She'll follow someone else straight on no problems but can be tricky alone. She's not scared as she'll stand with her front feet on the ramp happy as larry while rattling farm vehicles and lawnmowers go by She's just so stubborn. So after about 20 minutes of trying, a lovely livery offered us some help as her horse used to be terrible. She used her horse's rope halter and I learned loads about pressure and release and all that kind of stuff. And it worked Walked her through the trailer five times, making sure she was being really polite and not rushing through. Really pleased and really grateful that the lady took the time out of her morning to help us. More practise soon I think
Now I'm sheltering from the horrible weather with the dogs before I go to fetch the princess from the field and muck her out. Tomorrow I'm going out with mum for the day so will be riding in the morning and Sunday I'm working so will be hopping on afterwards
Yesterday she got clipped. I went to the yard intending on a hack and going home but then realised I won't have a chance to clip her before next weekend, when she's supposed to be having her photos taken by my wonderful bloke who is a hobbyist photographer. Hoping we still have some nice orange leaves on the trees by then
