Well now i have my new lorry we have lots booked in so our first show was Oldencraig on Saturday!!

the weather wasnt to bad in the morning and our times were after 4pm so we had all morning to get ready !! I plaited both the horses up (as no one else can!!) we washed there legs and made them look all pretty and started getting ready to leave - early for once !!! then i realised id forgotton to take the cut off switch off and the lorry wouldnt start - lucky we were early !! Jumped started the lorry and off we went !!

Got there with plenty of time but the rain had started very lightly - did Novice 21 neither horse has been out for a few months and with the horrible weather we wernt expecting anything brilliant from them !! they both did amazing though and we came 8th and 9th with 60.05% and 59.05% - we were very pleased !!!

Then Novice 22 was indoors and it had started peeing down - walk and trot were fine but in canter the thunder started and we went a little tense !! The judge really liked him though as said to my friend how lovely he was and she had done really well and he would improve with time and experience which was lovely !! we hadnt really practised that one so wernt to worried !!

Anyway ill stop rambling now but must say really pleased !!

Showjumping this saturday then off to Stilebridge the week after for Novice 30 and 32 x x x
 
Excellent! Well done.

I do stupid things with my lorry all the time....had to connect my leisure battery to Jo's this weekend, just to get the ramp up, as i'd managed to flatten it

I cant really take any congrats as im just groom !! he he and test caller !! I couldnt beleive it when the lorry didnt start ive only had it 3 weeks !!! wooops !!
 
I decided that lorries always have something wrong with them, you will never get everything all working properly at the same time. I broke the loading door tie back this weekend and the water isn't working currently.
