It's that time of the week again....

I'm off to Moreton Morrell on Sunday for the Riding Club dressage to music qualifiers

I was out yesterday at Moreton Morrell as a guinea pig rider for the BD UK CC exams. Had a fabulous lesson and I'm delighted to hear the lady I had my two lessons with passed her exam! Rightly so too she was fantastic!

Good luck to all that are out
 
Guinea pigging sounds interesting :)
It's another Friday trip to dressage for us. Another 2 Elementaries and hopefully tie up a second AF qualification, and who knows, maybe some points towards winter regionals :p

Quiet weekend after that, so more plod hacking for Millie :) Hopefully get her road pins popped back in behind so we can change routes (currently stuck on the only short loop that doesn't have a glass-like surface)
 
Nothing for me this weekend. We moved yards last weekend and she lost a shoe before that so she had an easy few days until Tuesday, now the shoe is back on I'm just going to explore the hacking and try and over come the corner of death in the school this weekend.

Good luck all :)
 
Burghley for me. Yeah, my first time. F gets a weekend pass, then it's starting show prep for Hickstead in Sept.

I suppose I have to caveat that with the fact it's a novice/amateur thing and we will be completely outclassed. But still. It's Hickstead!!
 
Good luck all. Looking forward to the pics.

I am going to a pick a fence open day so you can go round in a group so I am taking my 7yr old daughter and her 5yr old Welsh A along with Daisy as my pair.
 
Good luck to everyone competing. Boxing to a friend's tomorrow for a hack and maybe a pop round her jumps (or if feeling lazy will film her jumping) then early start Saturday for autumn trailing, due to rain a bit which will be lovely as otherwise a tad hot in Tweed !!
 
Depends on if this cold decides to ****** off. I refuse to get on the hyper warmblood that hasn't been ridden in 3 weeks while i am dizzy. Not a good combination.

If i am better we will do light schooling/acrobatics and maybe some hacking/spooking at tree stumps.
 
Oldencraig Area Festivals Advanced Medium for us on Sunday. Will be knackered as early start and got friend's 40th birthday party on th Sat night!
 
Loughanmore Eventing Ireland riding & scoring combo tomorrow - it only our second event together so just aiming to pop round quietly with minimum fuss, & get back to the calculator to sort the scores out for everyone else!
Sleeping Sunday zzzzz
 
Well, up untill last night I wasnt planning anything at all, apart from some schooling and hacking, but my lovely friend persuaded me to come do some dressage on Sunday, the riding club kindly found me late entry spaces, so we are doing two tests at a nice local venue, P12 and Novice 34 ! I would have been a bit more comfortable doing novice 30 to be honest but no space in that class. oh well all good practice as not expecting to set the world on fire .....
 
Good luck to everyone competing and enjoy your weekends all :)

As for me, it's a quiet one again. I had a lesson last night with our new trainer on my mare who forgot that she had ever been ridden before (I know she's has a few weeks off, but really!), so will be schooling her over the weekend.

My gelding was a little off last time I rode him, so I'll pop on him to see how he is after a few days off - if no improvement then no riding and the vet is out next week so will get them to give him a once over and take things from there.

In addition they will both be getting a good pampering session and we're also planning to take the dogs out for a 5 mile hike on Sunday morning if the weather is suitable.
 
Good luck to all competing :) Mike is currently "sale agreed" so not competing him at the mo. If the money doesn't appear next week we will be back out but if it does I shall be horse shopping - which I'm dreading.
 
Good start for us. 2 solid tests and more shiny points towards winter regionals, only one more needed :) :)
Plus vet suggested millie could start doing some bits in the school now, she's not 100% yet but we think it's mechanical rather than pain after a bute trial. Only time will tell if she'll get better but probably won't get worse. Looking forward to having a little play this weekend :)
 
Fab day!

Rubbish vid still but couldn't believe when I saw the video of them clearing this fence. It was just a tiny log but and its unlike her, she leapt over it. Daughter didn't tell me and says she didn't notice (!). How she stayed on I don't know but she must be getting much better at sticking on as she's sat a few youngster Welsh moments recently. Pony is 5 and coming on brilliantly. So pleased with them both.
