I took sensible young Milo round the tiny xc jumps his first ever time round a full course, he went clear and felt lovely. Even younger Monty after a short spin on the lunge behaved really well, it was a busy grass show ( the sort we are now so short of to educate these young event horses) Monty jumped erratically round a X pole clear round. He is confident over 2'9" on a surface yet on grass it was like he hadn't ever seen a show jump! Then I nipped easily over the bigger XC jumps on Top Gun, hes really grown up over the last few weeks and feels ready for his first BE100 next week. Every one was really friendly and helpful and the courses were really educational. Just heard Spring Along died from a heart attack on the xc at Gatcombe today, news like this makes me treasure every moment that these lovely horses are with us. In our lesson with Pammy Hutton last week she said she felt this was the year he had a real chance to win Badminton.
