Well, it's been a funny old kind of few weeks. We said goodbye to the lovely Clover who is now enjoying seagull spotting on the beach with the equally lovely Kitsune. Still miss her brown velvet muzzle and wet kisses...Clover that is!
But, takes deep breath, our biggie wrench was Jack the superstar heading to Ireland to be a schoolmaster for a friend. (Coals to Newcastle anyone?
). He has settled in well but we're missing his saintly presence and demands for bananas already.. Saffy better step up to the plate and be the "big track" pony, but we'll see... A photo of Jack, my favourite, who has a home there for life or he'll be back to us
Can't have teenage son spending the day in bed playing computer games so to keep him out of mischief he has two new partners in crime to produce. Darko (I know
) is a 16hh 6yo grey mare by VLD Ard Douglas (Darco) and has SJAI points and WH successes under her belt.
This is her father... jumping a car... as you do?? Huge scope but uncomfortable viewing IMO.. http://primaequestrian.com/news.php?nid=256
We took her to a local unaff SJ at the weekend which turned out to be pretty busy as trailblazers second rounds but she was perfectly behaved and popped round the 85cms for a pleasing and rhythmic dc.
She was accompanied to the show by Ace who is also trying to work out why he is now with people who talk funny
He's 16.2hh, 4yo and comes from his breeder. His mother, by former irish national champ Hermes de Reve, is jumping at 1.30+ level and his paternal grandfather was a Grade A so he *should* jump. He proved that by taking part around this enormous and testing track on Sat..
We were delighted as he was super chilled in the ring and warmup and not remotely interested in any lurking horse eating monsters. In fact, he was so horizontal that he had a little snooze...zzzzz....
So, delighted with new irish people and then friend asked son to pop her lovely event mare around the 1.05 and, 3 mins after first riding her, they won the class
We'd had a good weekend the one before as well, as Saffy decided to be cooperative at her first outdoor show on grass for a minor placing, having come second in a shoys 1.10 qualifier the weekend before, her first show back after an abscess. Better get practising open water with Newcomers 2nd round on the horizon....or should I just stand back with the video camera and enjoy a very loud teenage SPLASH??
