The end of the Horse Trial season was May and my young TB Archie did very well up in the NI with Matt and Vaughn. The idea being to bring him home and carry on eventing with him.. as it turned out I am still not that brave on the eventing front even though he did very well at the two events I took him to recently. As hard as it was I decided to let him go. The up side is he has gone to a great home that had watched and wanted him for some time. I will enjoy seeing him out and about and hopefully still doing incredibly well as he really is a very talented chap!
As it happened an ideal horse came up very quickly after Archie left that will give me the confidence and fun that I think I need at my age! So we now have Hewston in our paddocks and he is just gorgeous. It is great to have a gentleman around with all the young horses.
It was nice for my 12yr old son to ride Hewston the other day and I was able to ride Stanhopes Magician (aka Marty) on his first hack out beside him. I am really enjoying riding Marty - he is such a character and is always first up in the paddock with something to say!
The Mares are looking bigger and we look forward to October when Millie (Brilliant Invader TB) is due, and November when Indy is due... both infoal to Marty so a really exciting time for us.
Well the earthquakes seems to have settled down but now we have the snow... making feeding out hard and riding almost impossible - I said almost!!
