Well, it felt like swimming! Schooled in torrential rain tonight. Haven't ridden for a few days with one thing and another - Gemma lunged her for me on Saturday and Alice rode on Monday but need to crack on again.So pleased with how much she has come on in 5 months - I can now get on and walk trot canter. Yes she grunts and sometimes gets tense but tonight she was mostly in a lovely outline, aided by the rain Dressage at yard on Sunday, eeeek. Our first prelim! Canter is still a bit hairy but I can ride her so much more now, I know she won't kill me so I just carry on and she gives in. Had to pull her up once when she was being very rude, but after that she was fab
She was soaked through though, as was I! Poor girly. Hope she is ok out overnight, I was freezing when I got in.
Small (well large) personal update for those in the know. Went home. It was fine, normal, happy. So so so happy. Like you would not believe. After 3 years of absolute utter shit, I can start to live my life again and move forwards. A weight has been lifted. Life is too short to hold grudges and become bitter. I'm not that person, so we're moving on
New job starts on Monday similar but managing a team - also taking over the Peterborough team straight away. Was rather chuffed that they are delighted - they apparently think very highly of me so will be down in Peterborough once/twice a week for next 8 weeks before they get a new permanent boss.
Getting new car - mum and M are giving me M's car. An MG ZR Excited!
