Selina Anna Campbell's blog: All is fun and love in snow... if you don't have horses that is!

Now the snow has gone, the real work can commence. I have been out and about quite a bit in the last month. We have qualified for the National Festival of the Hunter at Cavan, Ireland and have made it to the final of a few Derby leagues we have attended. This has been quite a steep learning curve for both Mya (No Illusion) and I as the Derby courses really do come up on you quick and fast!! I couldn’t do it without the help of Nicola, my travelling coach and best friend. We are having an absolute ball!!

Getting excited about the possible (finger crossed) arrival of Mya’s half brother/sister in May all being well... We were at the vet in the middle of January and when I asked him if he could tell what sex the foal is, he said he could tell me with 50% accuracy..what a comic!?!

On another note, I have been using the Emergency Herbal spray by Forest Farmacy which stems blood flow from cuts and cleanses at the same time. Mya can be a little clumsy, so we have had to use the spray on a number of occasions. It works very well and the spray is not too pressured as I have had to use it on Mya’s face a few times without any objection..result!

So, this month sees the end of a number of Derby leagues and intense preparation begin towards working hunter competitions! That’s about all from me so far, but if I get into any mischief, I’ll be sure to update you..
