Spring forward weekend plans!

Water treadmills seem to be the new ‘in thing’. It’s not as if they are a quick fix for anything. Hugely beneficial for the right horses, being used for the right reasons and in the hands of operators that really know what they are doing. But oh so much potential to make things worse in the wrong circumstances.

I def agree ive used the treadmill were i take mine for the past 4 years and love it and completely trust the people who have it and run it x i use it combined with fhe vita floor for fitness and to keep joints looked after

My horsebox was fixed this weekend (yayy!) by my boyfriend's very clever dad, saving me a large garage bill so i'm eternally grateful to them. I did some loading practice yesterday and Buzz was just amazing and walked straight on! I was so surprised, he hasn't loaded since November and he's always a bit awkward with just me loading. I couldn't believe it, I kept going in and out again just to see him walking up the ramp beside me. Fingers crossed for loading on Thurs for our arena hire, can't wait

First lesson done ? it was hot in the sunshine but she worked her socks off for a short get-going-again session. Long way to go but at least we've started now ?
Waiting for her good behaviour reward ?

Tom is in Manchester not far from fallows at the beginning of may

Tom's at Chesterfield April 7th. I've booked into that clinic. Fingers crossed Toby''s fine and just found the treadmill a bit much.

This has made me happy - back out again and gearing up. We have literally only hacked for 3 months so pretty pleasing to be out. Horse was pretty sensible as well.

Whee, we've been out too. My owner is sorting pics etc. We did kelsalls clear round, entered the 80 and in a moment of madness the 90. We have never done a 90 round, we last jumped before Xmas...
Supercob unloaded well and was very good to tack up. Kelsall were super as we got stuck in traffic and arrived as I should have been in the ring so they let me go out of order for my 80. Quick work in and away we went. It was a bit lumpy and ugly but we were clear in the 80.
Time for a coffee and we were up for our 90 work in. Kept it short but I rattled him a bit and got on his case which got his back up a bit but meant he listened a bit more when I asked him to jump. My eye was still in, but he's less confident and more inclined to shuffle and get under fences.
We got a bolder 90 round generally but he had 2 poles - from getting under them ?
However, the goal of the day was to stay on and jump the jumps so we may never win any style classes but I am super pleased with today
