Saturday will probably be a morning ride then off out for drinks, then Sunday I have a lesson with Sue Chadwick which I am very much looking forward to!
Hope everyone else has a fab weekend!

My 7yo and I are both entered in RC autumn dressage champs. He's doing an intro test, and I'm doing Prelim 13 and 14.
We've been practising all week so hope it goes well.
Forecast not great though.

Mine all depends on whether potential purchase passes vetting this afternoon...
Of course, now I've mentioned it on this thread, she'll fail miserably (I probably missed that she only has three legs) and I'll spend the weekend sulking.

I hope you enjoyed your honeymoon MP
I've had a great week off work, every inch of concrete has been power washed, stables spruced up, horse bathed and clipped and ready to rock. Had a good lesson with my classical coach yesterday and tomorrow I'm off for a double session - an hours mind coaching session with a XC lesson afterwards, really looking forward to that. Will hack today and Sunday then unfortunately back to work Monday, boo

She passed the vetting! So, assuming delivery all goes to plan, I'll be spending the weekend getting her settled in. She'll get a proper introduction post when she's definitely in her stable and thoroughly mine!

Rusty is GOING to be a dressage pony whether he likes it or not! It's not all about galloping & prancing! We are doing an UA competition on Sunday! He is also going to be schooled in preparation tomorrow which will mean circles for 2 consecutive days which will be a shock to the system.

I'm going barrel racing A fun Halloween event - I have a (fairly basic) second horseman of the apocalypse costume (War - so just a red horse, a cloak and a sword, tbh ) and we have silly western games after - rounding up some nasty venomous-looking spiders and shuffling skulls

I will be sitting at my laptop waiting for more lovely pics of Italy from you know who! Are you going to Herculaneum? I liked it better than Pompei?

Lesson today went really well. We have definitely made progress. It will be interesting to see if my marks on Sunday reflect that.

We’re useless without you MP hah. Hope you’re having oodles of fun. Just got back today from the US so struggling with jet lag. But obv I’ve gone and booked a horse outing tmrw, no rest for me eh. Jumping lesson - been a while since my first lesson with this instructor but I really enjoyed it so am trying to keep it up!

That's a shame! Don't bring OH here though, there's far too much ancient stuff hanging around, MIL is 100 on Wednesday and I'm 70 at Xmas but at least I'm not covered in ash since giving up the fags! You are having lovely weather though!

Dressage lesson was fab, we are progressing really nicely now. I’ve pencilled in some comps, touching wood that progress continues and my girl stays sound.

My mare has been charging around, running barrels and doing western games as the mount of one of the horsemen of the apocalypse (war, to be exact).

Gallops were ace. He was an absolute star, two lovely liveries came with as support, plus another 2 friends took us & acted as grooms.
He's not very fit so we did canter rather than gallop, but ears were forward all the way.
I was slightly mortified that he likes being in front and will drift his big bum across to block anyone coming past. And even more mortified to look down and see his gallumphing canter being matched by a 13hh at a spanking trot!
Can't wait to go again.

Not sure if this link format works but if it does, this was us out drag hunting. Last weekend but only just got the picture. Obv all I see is noseband too loose/flash too tight, because I can’t look at a pic of myself without being critical, but am chuffed with the fence we jumped!
