 Celeb says hello to Steve.  Unicorn gets to ride Karen French's beautiful Sheik  "Who let this idiot sit on me" - Celeb  Much better...  Look who is back!  Seamus was clearly the biggest horse present.  Jake and Becky going for a bit of a rampage.  Celeb and Small.  Celeb rides by.  For a pony just back in work after major surgery he's not looking bad. I should perhaps point out that all the trotting was entirely Small's idea.  Mush watches me trying to match speeds with Steve around the outside of the dressage arena and very nearly succeeding. |

Sheik is amazing!
So much power, and so light and soft - he gave me my first feel of a proper half pass, and some gorgeous walk/canter/walk transitions (and one almost canter/halt when i misjudged my ask!)
And Small would like to point out that stopping trotting wasn't his idea!!

Thank you so much for that picture of Jake! Busy night at work and its really cheered me up. I know I'm biased but he really is rather gorgeous, especially at that speed  |

He was looking really great, Beks. He's such a great horse.

Yay! At last, thanks Breakfast. Didn't we get perfect timing with the weather? So good to see Small out with the gang again.  |

God we were so lucky with the weather!! Drove down the M20 this morning after a night shift in zero visability thanks to the rain - needlesss to say Jake got a good groom and I just filled some haynets before going home to bed. Am now going to go and work Jake before turning him out as it seems to have stopped. . . .
