It's Thursday, hurrah!

Anyone out and about this weekend?

I'm feeling the January blues, feeling very very poor which is limiting activities :p
That said, Salty really really needs to keep on going so I'll drag her out somewhere. Was hoping to get her out to an indoor tomorrow but looks like work is putting the kibosh on that, boo!

Bit of teaching over the weekend, Kira will do some hacking as she's done a few hard days in the school this week - worth it though as she's finally twigged what canter piris should look like :o

Lesson on Tuesday.

Have fun everyone :)
 
Im meeting the owner of a pony I might be starting sharing on Sunday! I miss riding very much when I'm at university so it would be great if it all works out. Fingers crossed!
 
Dressage, lots of dressage :eek3:...

Saturday Skylla is doing her first novice :eek3:.

Sunday Topaz is doing her regional practice and an Adv Med for AF hopes.
 
That sounds exciting IKMV - hope it all goes well :)
Good luck for both girls AH!
Have fun MP - Shame on work for encroaching into horse time! :D

I've had a very explosive week with Ruby :D She's been wild since dressage on Sunday - Mix of alternate day turnout, increased fitness from more work to make up for the days in and go faster oats has made for a very bouncy pony!

Tonight I am just going to try and school quietly, she was out today and has disgraced her self so much she'd just having chaff for dinner.

Tomorrow we have a jump lesson in the evening which i'm looking forward, new instructor has been revolutionary for us.

Saturday i have some work in the morning, then two to school and will try and hack Ruby. Then I'm going to spend the afternoon sanding down the cabinets in the living so I can re-paint them :)

Sunday trecking up to Merrist Wood on my own for the Arena Eventing - If this goes t*ts up I need to come up with a plan for the start of the season to get us out of this funk, at least i'll have a long drive to think about it on the way home :D
 
Tomorrow NF is being reclipped and as am taking her to sj trainers yard (as his groom who clips for me hasn't got his car at present), it would be rude not to have a short lesson after.
Saturday prob hacking.
Sunday going to rc sj comp, doing 1st class and then whizzing box back home, hopefully to then shoot over to assist with friend doing arena eventing at Merrist. If short on time will just drive from my comp to hers!
Still trying to decide whether or not to compete this year, or just happily amble and charge around countryside......
 
Oh good luck with the share horse iknowmyvalue.

I will hack Saturday and have another polework / gridwork lesson Sunday
 
IKMV - good luck, hope it works out
AH - very exciting, hope both carriage ponies have their dressage socks pulled up
Have fun everyone else, glad to hear of everyone out enjoying training etc as, like MP, I have a serious hit of the January blues so you guys are lifting my spirits.

Just hacking for me, and might get back on the midget mare after abandoning backing efforts following snowgate and a growth spurt. She's a bit of a buzzy, whizzy blur in the field at the moment, but she likes this whole riding malarkey so hopefully she will be quiet enough for me.

Have fun everyone - 7 weeks until March is here
 
I am..... I hope....picking up my newly mended Landrover. After that, anything is possible :D :D :D

I am seriously lacking in motivation after being knocked back by work issues, so I'm looking too book some clinics to MAKE me get out there and do something!
 
Exciting stuff. Look forward to hearing how everyone eats on. Hopefully with lots of success and fun and not too explosive!

Flatwork lesson tonight. Will work on a few bits of a Prelim test as I've entered for dressage and a baby combined event which have the same test. Has some horrid, for us, walk work in it which is currently our worst pace. Go figure.

Tack shop trip with friends on Saturday although terrible timing after Xmas and before pay day! Prob hack out. Then I've booked sj course hire on Sunday to crack those sj demons. Whoop.

Plus I'm getting stuff done! Spent a merry few hours filling up my new snazzy planner, started on a confidence building course and am setting myself some small but hopefully achieveable goals, inc to remember to have fun and do stuff we really enjoy.
 
I have polocrosse training on Saturday with the lovely orange pony. All she has to do is remain moderately sensible and keep her feet to herself, and I'll be happy.

She was terrific today, planning to pony her out from Fergus tomorrow. She'll have Sunday off and I will hack Fergus and play with Dae instead.
 
Last Elementary test for Raz on Saturday then we’ll be taking a break to focus on training before moving up to medium (hoping to be allowed out to do our first test in April ;)).

The 4yo is being restarted next week so will be bathing/clipping/pulling her mane to make sure she’s semi-presentable for her session with Dominique Flament next Wednesday. She’s off to jumping bootcamp next month so need to get her fit before then.

Depending on time (my times for BD on saturday are awful - three hours between tests so might withdraw from the second test or just come home in between) the others will probably do a quick 20 minutes to keep them ticking over.
 
Dim Tim is doing 2 long arena prelims, where he will find the energy from is anyone's guess, I may have to rush in with a can of Red Bull and a banana.
 
Schooling session tomorrow to run through my dressage test. Hack on Saturday, and give him a good tidy up. Then off to combined training at sparsholt on Sunday, for our first competition of the season.
 
More schooling and hacking for the two ponies...

Off to ‘cob school’ clinic with the hogged one Saturday as prep for our potential showing plans and a chicken show down at SOE showground on Sunday.
 
Taking my 4 year old Connemara to her second in-hand Arena Trec. First time out she came third and scored 89 points. Am looking to improve her score this time by adding in trotting some obstacles (in training to get some post-Christmas lbs off me).
 
Show jumping again. Last week's clear round was thwarted by time of the month trouble but fingers crossed for this one. Meant to be doing two classes but will check on temperature and entries before waiting a couple of hours for the second.

And baby pony is having a wearing a bridle session on Saturday if everything goes to plan. He's at a mouthy stage so a bit should be just fine.
 
Sounds like lots of you are very busy! Have loads of fun. Alibear - we need a report on the barrel racing clinic!!

Hacking tomorrow for Pocholo, then combined training at West Wilts on Sunday. We had a jump lesson last week and he was in great form, pinging everything and mostly completely ignoring me. Doing two Prelim tests will feel a bit odd now though, I'll pretty much use them as a warm up for the jumping.

I'll school Indio tomorrow then see what we have time for on Sunday (probably not a lot, I may well be exhausted after two classes of CT, I get so much more nervous about jumping that it tires me out). He has a busy week next week with a lesson at AMD on Wednesday, then his first two Elementaries next Sunday :D
 
Jump lesson tomorrow and hack Sunday. Lovely Lil would much rather be an eventer pony than dressage pony so I must try and crack my Jumping nerves.
Jake will school tomorrow and hack Sunday.

Hope everyone has lots of fun!
 
I am getting antsy about not riding. Two of my liveries are off out showjumping tomorrow morning, and another one is off to a clinic in the afternoon, so I am sulking about everyone else having fun!
 
I am on nights so between sleeping and riding the tb will be popping over to bury farm as other horse is at their premier show jumping fox tomorrow and 7 years olds Sunday
Will take x racer to addington clear round Monday night as oh has lorry this weekend and the only affiliated this weekend is bury which is too big for him so least he gets out after a amazing lesson Thursday
Good luck everyone x
 
Just seen saddler for check up now waiting for lesson. Tomorrow arena eventing (65 - 75cm) horse has no problems except for rider who finds it hard to remember course of 18 jumps!
 
The ancient one and I went for a hack today managing to avoid the rain, then if all goes to plan showjumping tomorrow. Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend!!
