Weekend Update - Pimms, Polo and Poles!

Morning readers, I hope you all had a lovely horsey weekend?

I did and thought i'd do a little update for you all, as that is what this blog is for afterall!

Saturday I had a lovely lay in and feel so much better for it. I was starting to get drained so a good lay in did me the world of good!
I then forced myself out of bed early afternoon and headed down to the gorgeous Hare Park for the Pimms and Polo afternoon.

Really well plays chukkas and match! Really impressed to see some great horses and their riders. Very close match but the White team came away victorious!

I managed to get some photos on my phone of the action. They're nothing special but they're also not too bad!

Sunday I made my way over to my parents house to go with Mum and Georgie over to  Prestige Equestrian Centre down the road from us in Castle Camps, where we hired their beautiful school for an hour to get the rust off B's jumping and vary his work. We already know he is very well schooled, and that he can fly over cross country jumps, but wanted to remind him that not all jumps are immobile and that he needs to pick his little legs up! 

He did really well, as I said he is a little rusty but he did do well. He's learning that not all poles are flimsy plastic and he needs to tuck his toes up on avoid clonking a hard wooden pole and they hurt! 
He had one such clonk but quick as you like he then learnt, keep his toes up and no lagging!

Here's a little video!

So overall, very happy Sophie. Lovely family, lovely new friends, lovely horses and just over all nice times! Bring on my weekends like this 

We're visiting a smaller show this weekend for Georgie to have a go at some more jumping and then not long until Houghton Hall!
I'm sorting my lead rein outfit out as Frankie and I are going to do our first lead rein class, i'm excited!! 

Look out for a post on that, i'm gonna try and scrub up well!
