REHAB HORSE UPDATE

12/5/2016

Its been a super busy few weeks since Munstead One Day Event but great fun.  I was lucky enough to go to Badminton on Saturday and see some absolutely amazing event riders do some seriously tough fences that I wouldn't even contemplate.  I think there was one jump there in the entire lot that I would have actually done, MAYBE.  You have to take your hat off to them, million dollar poinies or not, silver spoon or not, you cannot fake being a brave rider and helping to get your horse over those fences, its definitely a team effort.  I was seriously impressed.  I used to think 'well I could do that', if I only I had been born rich.  But its just not the case, yes it would have helped and yes I could have had expensive ponies and trained 7 days per week, but you cannot buy guts, and that is what those riders have in oodles.  it was an amazing experience and I did do some shopping, yay, I am now the proud owner of some bright red stirrup irons, hmmmm.  Must have been having too many Pimms !!

Anyway, we then took naughty rehab pony to Merrist Wood for some show jumping and XC on Sunday and he was a superstar, perfect behavior all day and we just had one pole down sadly, but his behavior is what I always have my eye on, and that was impeccable.  definitely heaps of improvement from him, what a dude :)

My other rehab project is busy sunning himself on holiday with my mare (see pic below) oh what a hard life for a horse on holiday, no wonder they don't mind being injured !!  Hopefully they are back in work in September / October time, cannot wait to get them going.  Super excited.  In the meantime to stop them going ferell I ride them bareback around their paddock which they are not impressed with, work is definitely a big no no for them right now, in any shape or form !!!

God and I am loving this weather, the grass is growing, the ponies are nicely rounded and life is good !! :)
