Haven't been on here for a while and havent got a great deal to report because due to the rain every event I've been geared for has been cancelled so I thought a few pictures would make everything merry
Rudi is now almost 7 weeks old ( ) and getting bigger by the day, he's almost as big as mum now! his passport documents are all ready to send off- just need to decide on a name... He may just end up being 'Mr Rudimentary'
Ron has thrown a splint, just as we were starting to get going! was hoping to start getting him out and about for a bit of a play by now but we've been set back about 2 months so you'll just have to make do with a smiley picture of his funny face!
and then onto Charlie he's a on good form at the moment, just desperate to get him out somewhere! managed a brief outing last month, his first dressage test! and first time indoors so we spent most of the test tanking round (evident in pic!! ), shying at the walls, boards, mirrors, sunlight (really!) etc etc but overall it wasn't bad for a first attempt!
also did a workers class (not a fan of showing but MiL is and I wanted to get him round a course ) almost everyone else was crashing round so i wasn't too hopeful but he was a star, loved it and went clear excuse my dodgy position- im incapable and got virtually leaped off at almost every fence
and then a few schooling at home, i'm in desperate need of a lesson but keep getting rained (/stormed!) off so in the meantime il just piddle along by myself... been doing quite a lot of gridwork which is proving very useful getting him to back off and think about what he's doing rather than throwing himself at everything!
entered for an unaffiliated ODE in a couple of weeks and then Thornton Watlass on 28th- fingers crossed the weather will have gripped itself by then!!!
thanks for looking, sticky chicken and mash if you got this far yumyum
