Milano had his showing debut this weekend and pulled off two super double clears in the working hunter to came away as champion. Chamfron Santiago has been happily hacking out and Chamfron Almendra finished fifth at the RAC Saddle Club one day event on 30.8 dressage and a double clear. You'd never guess Rebecca's two are full siblings!
Monday I did our local woods which are still carpeted with bluebells. Thursday I was out near Winchburgh with work so I did a few more miles along the Union canal and back along a track in the woods. Saturday we had a wander around the woods at Lennoxlove which were lovely, the highlight was seeing the fields of Cadzow White Park cattle. The cattle are the remaining fold descended from the white cattle that roamed wild in the Caledonian forests and have distinctive white coats with black muzzles, ears, feet and horn tips. There were two girls that were rather more patchy and had the cutest calves!
We have some historical photos of the house and distillery and wanted a modern one to complete the set so Brad flew his drone and captured a shot for us. I swing between thinking a drone would be a great addition and knowing I'd probably get bored with it after a month or two.
Chamfron Compostela has been out jumping confidently and making a good shape and Chamfron Firefly has been getting a sports massage carefully supervised by the boys.
My plans to keep up the long walks this week fell by the way side, wiped out by work and generally too much peopling I managed nothing more than the odd local stroll. On Saturday we did headed West to see some familiar haunts and faces for me and after a lovely hack I can confirm Chamfron Cactus Jack will be coming "home" again. Lockerbie was strange, in some some respects it did feel very familiar but also slightly off kilter by being bathed in sunshine.
