Weekday Plans - Christmas Week!

[Season’s Bleatings]

Well folks, what’s on the agenda this week?

Last week was very quiet for us - and I think this week will be similar!

Lesson planned at a local riding club tomorrow night, then our friend is hopefully bringing her newbie up to visit on Saturday.

Maybe a Christmas Day hack is on the cards??

Merry Christmas everyone

This week will be a bit "play it by ear" but I don't have very high expectations! Definitely won't squeeze a lesson in.

I'm working up until Christmas Eve, so will try and squeeze a flatwork session in tonight if I get home at a sensible time and ditto lunge tomorrow. Wednesday we are at the water treadmill.

I won't get to ride Christmas Day as we have too much back and forth with visiting family, I usually like to do a Christmas Morning hack but not going to happen this year! then we go down to visit OH's family for 2 days on Boxing Day. I will ride on Sunday once we are back.

Oh god its Monday, I've lost track already

Will school this evening, Tuesday going out for dinner with a friend so she will have a day off unless I'm very motivated and get out for a hack in the AM. Xmas eve might see if the Yard Teens want to go for a little hack, Xmas day will be nothing as the yard is their home obvs so will be a quiet little (smol)mouse getting jobs done and in and out as quickly as possible. Maybe another hack on boxing day!

If none of this happens and she gets the whole week off I won't care too much.

hen our friend is hopefully bringing her newbie up to visit on Saturday.

This is so cute and fun! Pony parties at home!!

Happy Chistmas week everybody!

Myka met showjumps today! Green to start but not phased.

Tomorrow and Wednesday she'll hack round farm ride. Then 2 days off while I eat my bodyweight in stollen and Quality Street x

I've got a riding lesson on Christmas eve as I'm not having my Sunday lesson because I have a Christmas competition at my local horse archery club. I'll be doing the ground stuff only, due to not having a horse.

All bets are off, no plan this week. What will be will be

Rode this morning. We had a horrible jumping clinic on Sat where he slammed the brakes on at everything. Even when the instructor popped everything down to a height he could step over he was saying no.

Had a good poke, prod, massage & stretch yesterday - nothing obvious. Popped on today, did some stretchy schooling and some tiny jumps. No issue at all. Was taking me into them with enthusiasm.

I'm on grass which is slippery & waterlogged so going to pop to my friend's tomorrow to see if we can go a bit bigger.

Instructor just messaged she has a slot to fill tomorrow in daylight times! what a gift!

Also winging it this week as the 3 kids are off school but hubs working until Xmas Eve so I’m very much wings clipped this week and in Xmas ‘mode.
Also we did 2 very hilly long hacks on Saturday and Sunday so he’s due a couple of days off.

Hopefully I may get out for a short hack Xmas Eve and then a longer one on Boxing Day. Sunday hoping to use a local school to work on his walk - trot translations. Daughter rode him Sunday and she did better than me at getting cleaner walk - trot without going through his pacing first!

Schooled and didn't enjoy it. Weh!! Should maybe have just let her have a day off, she came in starving for some reason and just felt sluggish and like she couldn't be bothered. But we finished better than we started and I kept it short so we be doing our best

Booked in for a Xmas eve hack with the Teens! Tho one of their ponies had a tooth out and is only just cleared so hasn't been ridden in 8 weeks so uh, we will see if we all make it
