Second weekend of August plans!

[HufflyPuffly]

Oh no HP! At least you know there was a reason for the issue (frustrating as it was!!) and she was jumping brilliantly. I'm sure it will all come together next time

Maybe third time lucky I guess...

I will 100% be tacking up myself next time ??.

Remember its not the things that happen, but its how you react to them that matters. So admit an oopps, and move on is best thing to do

Really feel for you HP. The effort you're putting in will get the rewards eventually am sure. Eventing (like horses generally) is tough alot of the time so have to take the positives where you can. My first horse that went Novice took time to get going XC (and later on SJ when had fixed the XC....(!)), when she did - she flew and never ever thought of saying no again. Think it was a combination of things that resolved through a mixture of accident and design. She progressed from 90 to Novice in one season once we had clicked into gear.

If you ever fancy exploring over this way, happy to join in a group hack over our mountains. You could always play in our (fancy new) arena before /after if you wanted to for a change of scene. I can take the sane one rather than the lunatic. One or both of yours if your mum fancies it too.

We'll be at Llany both days so will look out for you there. You can and will do this

Ah thank you that’s very kind, if I can get a free weekend I’ll take you up on it!

I do feel that once she ‘gets’ it she’ll ace being an eventer ?. She really felt like she was enjoying herself, I just lacked enough control to get her focus, combined with the softest fall ever was just unfortunate...

I’m sure Tuffy will sort us out lol.

Tog from sunday managed to recover a few pics
No scope no hope going on here

And here my chimp kicked in as he wobbled a bit on the way in - I'd said he likely would when I saw it, and totally forgot til he dithered slightly on the approach

He gives them plenty of air doesn't he! I do like his style.

Aw thanks, hes certainly got scope. We had a ride round kelsall farm ride this morning, some nice little ones there for us to get the hang of galloping over which was great
