Back at Newbold Verdon Equestrian Centre after MDRC Senior Camp yesterday…… Was really not looking forward to it (after falling at the water and setting off my air jacket last thing yesterday afternoon). I was seriously considering asking to change to the 80cm, or ditching it altogether to be honest!! Looking back I’m so glad...
Show Jumping Training at the MDRC Club field. Was not too sure about going today – Nash has had most ofthe week off due to work – and it was blowing a gale! Anyway – I hacked him down, he was a bit of a handfull in the wind, but soon settled once I was...
Dressage Championships – two tests today – we did P1 as a warm up; P18 was the Championship test. Nash was rather excitable assoon as he got off hte trailer today! Running backwards – which made it rather difficult to get on! Anyway – I did finally manage to get on board and he settled...
First time out in the trailer since the “trailer trauma” at Eland Lodge! Nash travelled like a pro! The show was fairly close, held in the Monument Field at Stanford Hall, near Lutterworth. We arrived in plenty of time – but the day was running slow, so entered the 90cm SJ class, and thought we...

It’s been 12 months since our last competition, but having to moved to Pezinok a few weeks ago with the aim of ‘getting our mojo back’ and doing more, I took the decision on Tuesday to enter for the Grand Prix this weekend. Had a practice jump on Thursday before going into Bratislava for the...
Late decision on Wednesday to take Finn Show Jumping today, seeing as the Eventing next weekend has been postponed until September. We entered the 90cm and 100cm classes, and were looking forward to a nice morning of jump practice. Left the yard on time at 07.00, as all competitors needed to be present and available...
Alexi has left Ranc Galanta and take her show jumps with her, so we need to travel to Šaľa for show jumping training until we can get more jumps of our own. I took Vivi and Silver too, so we had a joint lesson.

Dressage lesson today, I rode Finn in the Myler, Patrik asked if it was a ‘danger bit’, he took a good look and was quite happy to see that it was anatomical and mild…. I’m now starting off by putting Finn in a long and low frame to get her stretching over her back abs...
