Hello just a quick one!!

Preparations for the Bolesworth Showjumping Classic are well under way at our yard!! Pete is being ridden more often than usual to prepare him for his 3 days of jumping, and I also have a lesson booked with local event rider David Llewellyn to do grid work 2 days before we go, hopefully to sharpen us up before the event.  I can't believe it is only a week away I am incredibly excited it is an amazong show and the highlight of the year for me!

I will report back from my lesson with David next week!

First show back for Pete!

Pete  has now got the all clear from the Physio to start jumping again, I have been itching to get back out with him but his welfare always comes first, so I have given him extra rest time and built him back up slowly.

Last week I took Pete to a group lesson to do a bit of low key jumping to see how he felt, he was full of himself and really enjoying himself and showed absolutely no sign of his injury, so I was pleased.

So on Wednesday I had booked the day off work to take Pete to the midweek show at Southview.  I just jumped the Newcomers as one class is quite enough after his enforced break.

I was very pleased that he jumped round well considering his break, he just unfortunately had 2 fences down just carelessly, probably because he is a little ring rusty and we are both out of practice!!

I really enjoyed myself and am so happy for us both to be back out doing what we enjoy!

This is the pro picture I bought, I love this picture as Pete looks so happy!

Poor Pete is injured :(

Unfortunately Pete has pulled a muscle in his neck and is currently undergoing Physio treatment to aid his recovery.  It has been a worrying time but he is showing a definate improvement so I am keeping my fingers crossed he makes a speedy recovery and it fit and ready to go in time to get prepared for Bolesworth!
