Keep Moving - Week 37

All about Cactus this week, a few schooling sessions at home, first trip out alone in the trailer to go hacking and then a trip back to Cousland for pole clinic.  

Versatile!

Eventing, Showjumping, Polo and Endurance covered this week. 

Keep Moving - Week 36

A week away with work, not much opportunity for touristing but a week that included Yellow legged and European hornets, Hummingbird hawk moths, getting given cake to feed the gentlest donkeys, the milkshake van and a fox watching a steam train!

Keep Moving - Week 35

Sunday was spent crewing at Tentsmuir and Monday was back in the home office so just a lunchtime stroll along the railway line.  Quiet week with a short dander in Rosyth and a few strolls around old haunts in the Borders.  Managed to ride on Saturday, have put Cactus back in his Sidepull at least until his teeth have been done in October.  I need to get back to lessons with Lorraine, all the bad habits (leaning forward, looking down, chair seat... arghhhh, I'm disappointed in myself!) - he was very tense in canter but the transitions were better.  

Chamfron Outings

The boys finished at Tentsmuir on the same heart rate, 48 at a speed of 12.21 kmph.  This gave them a speed category two, gold.  The only two in the class to finish on gold heart rates.  At the same time Chamfron Agata de Fuego was at Kirkton Manor ticking off another 30km ride.  Chamfron Pitufa and Osito are busy playing polo in Cheshire.

Tentsmuir SERC

Chamfron Colorado's first 80km, giving him his Silver Thistle Final and Chamfron By Dand's most recent one giving him his GOLD THISTLE FINAL!
