It’s all go here. In the last week, we’ve been to Devon and back, bought a horse and done some BD and BSJA, not to mention my exams at school during all that.... With the season almost upon us it’s been all go to get ready.

So, our first dressage competition of the new year was also a test of my new years resolution – to map read better! We only took one wrong turning on our journey there – well how was I supposed to know it wouldn’t be sign posted?! The test itself was a little tricky with Dell deciding to be slightly immature, at least he’s getting it out of his system now!

Thankfully all my exams are now over for the moment but I’m sure the summer set will come round before I’ve realised it.... Oh why was I born in the most examined country in the world? Results wise though we’ll just have to wait and see – tremble...

However, just before my exams I was searching through Horse Quest (Yes, I’d done my revision!!) and saw an advert for a 6yo grey gelding. So we were off to Devon pronto and found a little super star. Meet Gray an iron grey 6yo gelding so keep an ear open for him.

With the season so close it’s time to get the brain into the 550 mpm and 600mpm (metres/minute) rhythm. We’ve been measuring distances, although we only knew the length of the gallops in furlongs - furlongs to metres ermm?! As you can imagine that one took a while.... With that sorted, we’ve got a very neat plan for doing timing practise at the same time as their fitness work – Yes, boys can multi-task!!

Next time we’ll have the full report and lo-down on the JAS (Jumping and Style) which Dell is entered for and I’ll leave you with a sneak preview of my latest idea – Podcasts, short downloadable radio type shows.
