In case you are wondering, blindin' times were had at the clinic with Tom and Sarah. There is just a little pause now while reports are typed, photos are downloaded and uploaded, and some of us frantically scurry about trying to catch up on missed work. Everybody did brilliantly. I have to make special mention of Snigsby and Celeb, who got on like a house on fire. If anyone's planning on riding in July then let me know... NOW. Some places are already booked.

Oooh, look at us! Me and Celeb were like this , he is just the sweetest little horse. If he vanishes,Kas, don't blame the pikeys, look for an Arab wearing a kilt (note to self - must eat fewer pies )

Oh, I'm sure it was just your fleece, Snigsby. A few pictures of Cobbo and I because I was so pleased with what we got this weekend I uploaded them to show people: Zorro shows he can balance on two feet. Zorro shows he can balance on a different two feet. Zorro shows he can balance on one foot.

Great pics and what lovely weather you all had! Love the photo of Zorro on one foot! Has he ever considered joining the Spanish Riding School, I know he's not the right colour, but he's definitely got airs above the ground sussed! LOL!

Zorro's a case. You could look at those photos and think he might be in some sort of distress... well, I suppose he was in the first one. He doesn't like working in the rain. So Breakfast decided wisely to let him sort out those feelings before getting on him. In the third photo we see what Zorro does when he's being asked for more forward in the trot, would like to canter, but is asked for just more forward in the trot. He's an athletic black cob isn't he? I was very pleased with Celeb. He's a bit lean and unfit at the moment, and hasn't been ridden since November. Kelpie took him for a couple of short hacks last week just to make sure Snigs would be OK. No problems, Celeb was a little schoolmaster. Love him. It was good to watch Snigs riding him. She did a great job and I could sit back and plan what the next stage is going to be in my training with my boy.

Athletic indeed, lol! He looks like him & Gazdag have been having words about how best to get oneself airbourne.... Very impressive! Nice pics and glad you all had a great time, look forward to hearing more

ooo, look at Snigs and Celeb! What lovely pictures. Blimey though, Zorro - that's a real proper buck! Doesn't look in the least like he's in distress - just looks pretty pissed at being told he's supposed to be a riding pony and all.... I recognise those poses and faces all too well. Though admittedly, considerably scaled down versions of them. The big Z is an awsome beastie!

He does really hate rainy weather. He had a lot of life in his feet that morning and I was very glad I let him off to have a bit of a run about before we started working. He kicked a lot of sand in my face as he set off, but I think I'd have had a lot more of it all over me if I had tried to get on...

Brilliant pics - especially of Zorro showing his displeasure at the rain ;D - very glad you made the decision not to get on him at that particular point breakfast! Sounds like everyone had a great time - look forward to a full report and more piccies, though a little jealous that I missed all the fun I had a great time being Aunty Bek north of the border- did try and wave to you snigsby but the trains were going too fast

Scary photos of Zorro Celeb looks gorgeous as ever, and Zorro does look impressive - I'd be far too scared to ride him! Sounds like you had a great time, will look forward to the report

With all those feet and teeth, being sat on Zorro is probably the safest place

Or the other side of the fence, behind a nice safe unbreakable barrier.....

What great pics. Zorro!!! I LOVE a cob with a bit of spark, just like my gorgeous girlie but even she isn't that athletic
