going to an ODE at upper sapey- hopefully our last 3ft event of the season, hoping to move on to bigger better things after this, but have to see how things go
I'm having a SJ lesson on Saturday and then probably XC schooling on Sunday before *gasp* doing our first jumping event in over 2 years - an unaffiliated ODE on Bank Holiday Monday - am excited and scared at the same time at the thought (of the ODE not the weekend!)
Some stressage & SJ practice with Dubh in my friends grass arena & DA will do some schooling & has a saddle fitting on Saturday *gulp, I have no will power!*
I am off to Addington on Saturday with trainer to help her in the 5/6 year old class.Then taking my pony there on Sunday to jump the Newcomers and Foxhunter and try out our new brakes!!
Um Saturday going to Garden Show at the Hop Farm i think unless that changes, if not will probably go for a picnic.
Sunday jumping Blue in Trailblazers at Duckhurst .95 and then the 1.05m if he goes ok in the .95m. We haven't been jumping since 4 March after a bad couple of shows so am hoping the break will have done him good and he'll be well behaved on Sunday
I'm off to my first Hunter Trial at Stratford Hills On Sunday. Ive never ridden the course there but watched several comps there last year. Its a great course, lots off rolling Suffolk uplands.
Ive had my horse Owen, 15.3, 9YO Connemara X Irish Draught now for about 5 months. Spent the winter legging him up, hopefully the tonnes off road work I have done will have hardened his legs.
Did a bit off cross country training at Poplar Park with John Hardwick, that was fun. Took Owen up steps for the first time, we were both a bit ropey the first time but second time it was excellent. I have a boring video on YouTube if anyone is interested. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVI6NwiYOZM
