Sunday was a full on day even though I woke up checked my watch and forgot the clocks had changed!
We went to look at a new pony for my OH's mum as she lost an oldie last week and it's mate needs company! We found a very cute rising 5 year old section b. She is really well handled and hopefully we will be picking her up Friday!!
Then I moved on to riding. I took Maisy to the Devrills for a long training ride and she was perfect. She is generally lovely on her own which makes it all the more frustrating that she is wild in company. She opened all of the gates from on board bar the ones that are too low to reach the bolt. When you consider that she is 14.2 it says just how low they are! We ended up doing 23k at 13 k an hour so pretty pleased with her and felt she was on for this weekend.
Sadly on trotting her up yesterday for our Mctimoney lady she is off in front with a hot foot again so obviously it didn't all come out last time!!
Then I took Winnie and Tamba for a play at as local school as I can't jump at home. Both were really good although Tamba felt a bit flat. I forget sometimes that he is not an Arab with boundless natural energy and I have to feed him something extra once the work load is up so will probably take him out again this week. He jumped nicely though but we stuck to 80cm. He also hasn't jumped other than out hacking for 5 weeks!
Winnie was pretty good when her turn came popping round at 90cm like it was nothing. Again we need more practice but she was better than two weeks ago so happy with that. She now has the job of super sub on Sunday and is being upped to 65k for the first time! It will be interesting especially vetting!!
