Due the bad snow and dark nights I feel a bit grounded this month! I had an exciting time at Olympia finishing 12th riding Sara Dowdeswells Connemara Johns Cuckoo. He went extremely well as he is only in his first season and was produced beautifully as always by my friend Mathew Lawrence.
I had a lovely time in London and it was nice to do some partying and shopping! I got home to find snow, snow and more snow but the horses enjoyed playing out everyday. Being a teacher I was lucky to get an extra week of work but was frustrated not to be able to ride.
The end of January will see lots of hacking out for the horses and they will be clipped and ready to start competing in February. My coloured horse Indian King will go and stay in Holmes Chapel, Cheshire for some intensive training with my trainer Libby Williams whilst my 6yo Millhollow King of Kings will do some show jumping.
