Horse and Hound

Another half term, another fun show at Tumpy Green. Sky was her usual unpredictable self, she went from this bit of fancy footwork to avoid going into the far corner of the arena which clearly contained a dragon....

.........to blasting round the jumps in the Horse and Hound class (they came second). Chox was a bit bemused by it all but is always up for a bit of running and jumping.

The NO couldn't ride her fave Fjord and parted company with her replacement pony, Jasper, during the mini jumping. After a brief bit of crying, she got back on, went and did the clear round jumping and got a rosette :-)

Much hanging around as usual and for some reason Bon Jovi's greatest hits on in the background (thought we'd left the crappy music at horse shows behind in France ) but excellent bacon butties and lashings of tea to keep us going. Didn't even get rained on......

Éowyn's first dressage test

Last month there was a lead rein class in the Interdressage schedule and as Éowyn has been going on about getting rosettes like her sister for ages now, we decided to go for it. I was going to plonk her on Gandalf, but Tess offered us the use of Coquinette, so she went for it......

And she didn't even come last, scoring 60.24% put her 5th out of 7. Which luckily for me meant she got a rosette.....

....although she was a bit disappointed that it wasn't pink!
