Schools championships. Just jumped area clear so taking the teams down again this year all being well. At the training last night Oshk was the only member of the senior horses to jump the 1.10m clear and my gosh did he give me a decent ride. I feel like I am riding a different horse, he still has the strength there but I can sit and wait on my stride right up to the jump and he feels amazing

I am so very happy with him, he rolled a pole in the 1m course but then in the 1.10m when there was something a little bigger to back off he sat up and jumped lovely, even through a disgusting strided double which I was very pleased with. If nothing happens like it did last year hopefully we can go down and jump the Hickstead course but the teams won't be finalised until about a week before the event, I'm very very pleased with his progress though!
 
Ah you will have to let me know their names closer to the time, even if I'm not riding as was the case last year due to that bloody tooth I will be going down anyway, think the Dunne twins are planning on going down again this year from KCol.
 
No pics, had the phone but doubt it would have picked anything up, you know what woodnook is like- dark

I am really enjoying him now though, he is going very nicely.
