Final Weekend in November Plans

Oh my gosh @lottiepony he's so cute! What a cracker.
I'm completely bias but yes lol!
I've had him 7 years, came to me as a lead rein pony and now he's a all rounder superstar. Still does lead rein duties, also is a first ridden pony and I broke him to drive at the end of 2021. He'll be 19 next year. No trouble at all to keep, the only negative is he does suffer with sweet itch but as long as I keep him covered he's fine.
 
It was indeed a goodun'!

Dressage went very well, 2 x 2nds with good solid scores (prelim was generous lol) I was very chuffed to get an 8 for my riding in both tests! Weather was so rubbish I didn't get to hack my new boy (part of me doesn't want to get my new saddle soaked lol!) just did a bit in hand in the arena.

Driving Sunday was very good. Dressage not quite as good but still a nice test. My plan was to go faster in the cones and sod the faults lol. We did indeed manage faster and only knocked one cone so mega pleased with that. Obstacles getting better as frank grows in confidence each time.

Lovely to meet ester! Had a good natter in the warm up :)
Please note that we look incredibly slow vs ester, well vs anyone else lol! Really makes me laugh as honestly it feels a lot faster, promise!
He's gorgeous!
 
I'm doing the Alternative Equine Group's winter obstacle league. First month has been submitted, but I think you get a couple of discard scores so it doesn't matter if you miss a month.
Yep, 6 out of 8 scores to count.

@Cloball, if you are on Facebook then Trec GB events and Alternative Equine Club both run online PTV over the winter.

Trec GB is a monthly full course. AEC has 2 winter leagues in alternate months; one is a 5 obstacle course repeated on both reins, and the other is 2 obstacles to practise and film.

Both have options for ridden and non ridden. AEC also does liberty. I’m doing AEC but not Trec GB this winter as don’t have a lot of equipment (or time or energy to be lugging it around and tidying it away).
 
Bit late the the party. Super cob was super, really gave his all.
Not big big horse is making massive strides in his progress. Drove the direct lines at fuller speed leaving him to work out his balance and he rose to the challenge. I need to remember half halts in the other phases but it’s nice to have him rolling forwards as indoors is a risk with larger animals they start to back off as it’s pretty tight and turny.
