Started the week by boxing Cactus up for a two hour hack, he was faultless from start to finish and it was super to take out a happy relaxed horse. On Sunday night the boys came in for the winter and so far it has been lovely to have them in and settled and to bounce out of bed and feel active before work. I am not naive enough to think that will last, first week of wet weather and I'll be clinging to my duvet and muttering "whose idea was it to have horses?"! I noticed on Facebook that the local riding club starts their showjumping at forty centimetres so we have had a practise and will be aiming to make it out next time. We finished the week with a trip to Hillend to do the Alpine Roller Coaster which was a good laugh. Highly recommend paying for three trips just incase you get stuck behind someone that uses the breaks first time down, we were aiming for the maximum speed of 29 mph.
