A swap about and some more XC schooling.....

I just wanted to give you a bit of an update from things our end as we have lots of exciting things planned over the next few weeks, with a variety of different competitions. Anyway back to last weekend and we had a bit of a change around to normal practice at a BE Horse Trials....I wasn't riding and was on foot as designated trainer!! MY youngest sister, Sophie was doing her first ever affiliated event of mum's 'big' Milli. They had a great day and finished in 16th place in the BE90. Sophie's friend Madeleine Tomlin was also competing in her first BE90 with her pony and they finished in 14th place! I have to admit though it did make me a bit sad that poor Roxie won't ever event again as I was eyeing up the 2* fences as we walked the course and Roxie would have loved it!

 The following morning I had arranged to take Diaz XC schooling but when we woke up to torrential rain and thunderstorms I was quite relieved when the owner rang to suggest re-arranging! Thankfully the weather cleared up after lunch so we headed over to the lovely Bonfleur XC Course for the afternoon. Diaz was amazing, she's really getting the hang of this XC malarkey now and finished jumping some BE Novice fences, including bounce steps down into the water......I can't wait to get her out to her first event in just a few weeks time now :)For more pictures of Diaz having fun XC please Click Here.....

Milli and I are out competing this Saturday at the Kent County show which we are looking forward to. We are representing a local riding club in the team competition there. It's not too big but Milli hasn't been out to a competition for nearly 6 weeks now, plus there is a big atmosphere at the Kent County show which is something Milli hasn't come across too often, if ever so it will be a good learning curve for her!
 
I will let you know early next week how we get on.....wish us luck :)
