Livvy rode Kay Sea who is owned by Clare Sleeman to Trec Dressage last night. He was much improved on last time's scores and did two quite respectable tests. Prelim 64% and Novice 68.8% just missing first place on the collective scores. No more Prelim for Kay Sea.
We have just had another set back with Lily when her leg swelled up at the weekend. We have just begun to start trot work after her tendon injury and initially thought that maybe she wasn't ready for this. However, it turned out to be a puncture wound on her fetlock. How she did it we don't know as she is booted when turned out and ridden. Another visit from the vet and course of treatment as it is so close to the joint. Her leg is now going down so hopefully we can carry on. We have decided that the season with her is now over although if everything goes well from now we may just do a couple of Novice runs in October and then do some show jumping over the winter.
Honey is on a roll as you can see from the News getting placed in her last three BE Events and the Pony Club areas. Her next outing is a trip to Derby for the Pony Club Champs with the Fourburrow Team.
Louis has settled well in his new home in Oxford and seems to be behaving himself. We are hoping to go and see him soon. We miss him lots.
Woody is a sweetie who looks after me even when the other horses are messing around. He just can't understand the problems they have.
Tonight we Livvy and Honey have a lesson with Caroline Creighton and tomorrow a lesson with Sue Andersen to start working on the dressage test for the Champs. Also have Ellie coming to do teeth, not Lilys favourite but has to be done.
