It's been an exciting month here, as Crumble is up for sale, Carl Hester had an American Lady visiting him who was interested to see Crumble, not sure that she was the right horse for her client.
The following week I was back at Carl's again with Pan & Goddy for training, with Pan we continued to work on his throughness (getting his neck down and taking the contact forward). He was much more settled this time and did more work on his changes and piaffe, which is coming on really well.
Goddy we continued to develop the "quickness" behind to cope with his huge movement. Also worked on his lateral work and changes, glad to say he is much sharper now - even getting spooked by the gardener sweeping just outside the indoor school!
Also bought a new addition "Nuts" 17 hh 12 year old gelding who I trained to advanced medium. He's been away on loan and since his previous owner Justine got him back she has realised that a hip injury makes it too uncomfortable to ride him herself, so she has been kind enough to offer him to me. He's settled in well and is back in training....watch this space.....
I took Crumble out on Sunday to compete in the Grand Prix at Manor Farm and despite some mistakes from her jockey!!!.. I am pleased to report that she won the class.....what a little star !!!
