January 2015
Happy New Year!
I hope everyone had a great Christmas, we had a lovely one
and it was great to relax, eat too much and catch up with family and friends.
I’m a big fan of Christmas but I also love the New Year as it means I can
really look forward to the challenges of the year ahead and the start of the
eventing season is almost upon us.
Mum and I started the year with a visit to the Stallion event
at Hartpury College on 3rd January. It was a great opportunity to
see some very promising stallions in the flesh where we were able to meet them
in the stables, ask any questions and then see them perform in the main arena.
Our broodmare, Umber, is due in March and we plan to put her straight back in
foal so we came away with lots to think about!
I’ve been starting to get fit for the 2015 season and to help
this I was lucky enough to ride my trainer, Zoe’s, dressage horse, George. He’s
absolutely fab and it was such a privilege to be able to practice lots of fancy
moves and really get the ‘feel’ I am looking for with my own horses.
For now, I’m going skiing to America with my husband, Jim for
2 weeks which I’m really excited about. Hopefully I will come back fit as a
fiddle with super strong legs ready to get stuck in! Entries open for our first
event of the season, Askham Bryan, while we’re away so I am leaving mum
specific instructions on entering!
I hope everyone has a great 2015 and I look forward to seeing
people out and about very soon.
