So went XC schooling today at MKEC.
Day started off a bit poop as the lorry wouldnt start!!! Batteriesd are a flat as a pancake (dad will be sorting them out at the w,end!!) Dont want to be having a lorry not starting at 4.30am ish before Poplar nxt week!
So put generator on and after 45mins it stared! hooray! But about an hour behind schedule!!
Traffic was fine there and the weather was gorgeous! And no im not being sarcastic it was lovely, really sunny, nether the less very windy!!
Arrived and the lorry park was packed - there was a Lucinda Green clinic so had a panic that as we were late I wouldnt be able to school! But was ok I could still go out.
So off I went on Spider first, I warmed up and the ground was wet and a bit boggy in places but really not as bad as I thought it would be. I started by popping her over the small ditch, some logs and a step up and down and some tyres and she jumped great - then went around and jumped all the Intro and PN fences and a few Novice skinnies - she was great!!! So bold and not bothered by a thing! Pretty good for a rising 5yr old that has jumped about 15 XC fences in her life so far!!!
So on to Mac the Sjer who is turning his hoof to eventing! he warmed up well but was a bit nosy and whilst he did it fine I could tell he couldnt understand why he was cantering around in a big open field!! But he went on to jump just as bold as Spider and again jumped anything and everything I faced him too - including the Novice trekaner and the Novice double of corners!! They jumped all the ditches. The jump ditch jump over by the water, the barrell skinnies, the U shaped brush fences!
So amsolute super super ponies today!! And making me wonder why I panicked so much about needing to go before Poplar Park! Oh well at least im prepared! Cant wait now!! Have jump lesson on Spider on sat and a jump lesson on them both nxt weds then off to PP sat!
I unfortnately didnt get any horsey pics! But did get one of the M1 to prove how sunny it was!!
And one of my JRT Pikachu sleeping n the way there!!
Blue skies!!!
