Keep Moving - Week 43

Another fairly quiet week, a few work miles, a few more miles on the treadmill, pole clinic and stubble fields for Cactus and a stroll around Edgelaw reservoir.

Chamfron Results

Chamfron Milano has been out for his first competitive outing this year, picking up a first and second at British Dressage.  Chamfron Almendra had her last eventing run of the season, double clear at Swacliffe BE90 U18 to finish seventh.  Chamfron Toledo has ben out showing for a 1st, 2nd x2, 4th and Reserve Champion.

Keep Moving - Week 42

A few days off work to get caught up getting the horses a little more ready for winter, both boys had visits from Nicola McArthur for a sports massage and then had their teeth rasped.  Managed strolls around some local haunts, Newhailes, Butterdean and Gifford community woodland.  Rode Cactus again on Saturday then we walked a loop of The John Muir way and East Linton to recce for a future hack and snack with Rebecca.

Keep Moving - Week 41

We popped up to see Rebecca at Vogrie on Sunday and a very laid back Cactus was ridden on Monday, Craig even had a shot on him.  On Thursday I did six work miles, my old stomping grounds at the foot of the Eildon Hills, then we headed out Northern Light hunting once it got dark, a slow start but soon very visible to the naked eye and in every direction.  A little hare hunkered down with Craig's trainers on Friday, managed a quick ride but the weather is definitely feeling quite wintery!

Chamfron Outings

The endurance crew have been out, Colorado has been trail finding for a future ride, By Dand was at Vogrie and Agata de Fuego has been out at Slipperfield and Drumlanrig two weekends on the trot.  Mojito has been out at arena eventing.

Keep Moving - Week 40

We had the post holiday lethargy at the start of the week, not helped by grotty weather but since Wednesday Cactus has worked every day and the garage now sports a treadmill for a daily power walk for me.  Off to Glasgow on Saturday for cocktails and the Dolly Parton musical (unofficial review - utterly odd story, faultlessly executed, the voices on the two lead singers were phenomenal.  Absolutely worth seeing in Glasgow for the extra drama and banter in the audience!)  Met Belle the Ferret at Glasgow central station and had a hug!

Chamfron Tizona - Red Dragon

 Chamfron Tizona was at the Red Dragon this year doing the pleasure class (26km)
