Fulmart Feeds Blog – 27.03.13
Well, the idea of this blog was to let everyone know how our
first event of the year went but unfortunately I’m not able to do this! We were
meant to be heading to Stafford Horse Trials last weekend but it was cancelled
due to the terrible weather we have all been experiencing. I really feel for
the organisers in this situation as so much work goes into the event right up
until the day before so to have all of that work with no reward on the day is
somewhat soul destroying (especially after all the cancellations last year).
I know it’s the same for everyone but it really is just so
depressing and I’m starting to panic a little bit that we won’t get a run
before Badminton. Luckily Alfie is pretty laid back and not the sort of horse
who needs a lot of outings so it may just be a case of ‘winging it’!!
On a more positive note, he is going really well in training
and I even managed to fit in a cross country schooling session on Monday
evening which reminded me just how brilliant he is. He was fresh as a daisy and
loved every minute of, jumping up and down banks, over ditches etc (we didn’t
do any water jump training but I think he’s seen enough water over the past 12
months!)
Herbie is also going well although I haven’t been able to do
as much with him as I would have liked to (due to the weather!), my aim is for
his first affiliated event to be Bishop Burton at the end of May so I really
need to get cracking. We have a packed Easter weekend planned with dressage and
showjumping competitions so let’s hope both boys are on their best behaviour!
Little Maple isn’t quite so little anymore (well, as far as
Jack Russells go!) but is as cute as ever! She still thinks Alfie is a giant
play mate for her and we have some heart stopping moments when she runs
underneath him or tries to nibble his hooves but she’s got to learn somehow!
It’s scary to think that my next blog will be just before
the big trip down to Badminton but very exciting at the same time, for now it’s
a big HAPPY EASTER from everyone at ‘Team Cawood’!
