Not really been on here much due to work being real busy and having the 2 in full work now - yippee!!
But just thought id do a little update for anyone interested!!
Dexter is back in full work now, doing about 40mins schooling and I jumped him for the first time in 5mths yeaterday!
Took me a few fences to get back into the rythym of him but then we were fine, dont want to say too much just incase! But he is feeling so so super and better then ever, his lateral work is really good and he feels so well so fingers crossed that continues!! he is booked in for some BD start of Dec, will be his 1st show in about 6mths! So could be interesting!!
Onto Dougal he had a little rest then a week or so of walking and is now back in work, jumping is going well he is definitely improving all the time but is still very weak in his canter so doing lots of schooling and polework to try and improve that.
He went to Norton heath Sat and did the OTECC I was so so pleased with him as I could tell he was very scared! It was his 1st time jumping indoors and there was lots he hadnt seen like the arrowhead hanging roll top thing etc I was a bit worried he may have his 1st stop/look at something but he tried his heart out and jumped everything just tapping 3 off out of 16 so not to bad at all, big pats for ponio!!
Here is a pic of him

Plan is for him to go XC schooling next weekend, do a british novice in Dec and then have a week off over xmas, think little short breaks often do him good
So thats it really mummy Spider is really well, hopefully little foalie is cooking well! And with the boys up to xmas is about all I dare plan!!
