Monty's First Ever Show

Took Monty to Allens Hill to do his first ever show, we did the 50 cm clear round and he went clear once and had 1 fence down in the 2nd round. He loved it and was very good warming up with the other horses and when the tiny miniature Shetland foal took off at 90 miles an hour in the paddock next to the warm up arena. It was so small it had a dog rug on, very cute and very funny. I hung on to my neck strap until it slowed down though!

Next Monty needs to learn to jump from canter this will take a while and I will start with using poles on the floor and then to x poles.

Spicer (Duvet Day) has been lent to Janet, Anthonys sister to go hunting and is proving to be a complete star, Janet will make him him into a super hunter, its nice he is being used as I was going to turn him away this winter.

John Wayne is now fit enough to go and do some dressage and show jumping, he is bolder and more confident than before. Top Gun is going really well and will be aimed at some dressage and show jumping in a few weeks, he has filled out and feels much more mature. Both boys have been clipped, just a neck and belly clip. It was getting hard to dry them off after exercise, with the damp weather. They were both easy to clip.....so its just Icon (of course) who is the clipping fidget!
