Hacking here too.
I have some "Training" but its a 2hour lesson for my Cat B+E! (Yes in NI we do still have to take a towing test). Trying to be excited rather than nervous!

Mini NN has a SJ clinic tomorrow on her horse. Hopefully she'll have time to ride mine on Sunday.
I sat in dentist's saddle chair this morning and a 3 point seat didnt push on my lower back injuries so
I'll get back on 6 weeks post fall.

We're off to my trainer's for an overnight today. I've given Sammy a quiet 10 days since Regionals so hopefully he's firing on all cylinders!

Nothing competitive here. Mainly trying to inject my newly gelded yearling with his antibiotics. He is not impressed by injections at all. Hoping the oral sedatives that I should receive today will help, we had to give up yesterday for safety reasons.
I will also be bringing Little Madam home from livery on Sunday. It will be nice to have everyone home again. I just hope they can all behave themselves. Sassy has given herself a go faster stripe down her side that I'm sure wasn't there yesterday night, but she was stabled last night and I've no idea what she could have scratched herself on.
All horses seem full of the joys of spring at the minute. The RS owner is going crazy with many horses behaving uncharacteristically. Mares that don't know each other are bellowing at each other from across several fields, normally placid horses are bringing themselves back to their stables from the paddocks at full gallop, elderly RS ponies are dragging their riders at speed to any available piece of grass or weeds... I'm predicting some lively lessons tomorrow.

Not just us in chaos mode then. That's something! The 22yo kids pony threw such a fit he's left skid marks on the concrete, I had to catch him the second time he tore off. At least mine is just being pathetically in love and peeing everywhere 
I love a SP'D lesson report!!!

Hacking everyone today.
Tomorrow the kids both have polework clinic in a new place. Then planning to have a jump at home with the adult- we haven't jumped since last July so probably just a little grid!
Sunday more hacking for everyone.
Have fun all

Well i seemed to have developed a chest infection, so TBC.
I was supposed to be invigilating Saturday and hacking Sunday so not exactly thrilling.

I'm planning on a sit on Reggie tomorrow and hopefully again Sunday if I have a man on the ground available. He's remembered all the buttons from the ground so far (and a few extra's for added bonus!)
I was going to take Robin out on the forest for an adventure (first of the year) but the road has been dug up with pretty drastic road works so we might leave our adventures until next weekend. More long reining in the paddock.
We've an in hand show at the end of the month so it's time to start getting ready for the show season so I plan to give the lorry a deep clean and check over which will probably take me most of the weekend.

No shows, but do plan on taking both girls on a nice long sunny hack to soften them as they are FRESH!

Thank you. I always think they're not especially exciting compared to things others are doing. Progress feel slooooow but I do think in the long run it will pay off. Last week I actually did quite a bit of trot and it was like it's never been an issue. Things are definitely improving although part of that I have noticed is my lesson time zips by in a flash and then the week until the next one feels so long!Not just us in chaos mode then.

Forecast here looks like rain. 'Light rain' according to BBC which means it will be biblical. Which I would not be sad about because I want to give my new waterproof overtrousers a go.

Boxed over to my friend's place today to borrow her arena, do a cool down on her farm track and pop a rug back on her warmblood as friend has a bust leg. Very well behaved hooligan thankfully. The microcob got a free pass because the drizzle turned torrential AGAIN!
Poor little microcob badly twisted her shoe last weekend. Farrier sorted it and she's sound but just feels a bit off. He's out for their normal trim on Tues so might leave her until then.
The hooligan has a group ride on Sunday. I'm hoping they're an experienced group because he's very fit and very bouncy.

SJ arena hire today and a very local venue that have just put their SJ out for the season. Want to get them jumping the full course linking the fences together and thinking about pace and turns and stride etc. Scope no problem for the horse, but they still need to understand each other better to jump a nice clean round.
Tomorrow we are still planning on Kelsall gallops. That's about 45 mins away so a bigger trip out but today is literally just around the corner so doesn't feel like an actual trip.
3 weeks to first BE so it's getting exciting!

Hellllloooooo
Felix, Myka and Mylo. Big sis and her little brothers. Though actually only Mylo is related to both of them.
Plus pic of another successful hack.
