Chamfron Results

Chamfron Agata de Fuego did the 30km at Tinwald and got her first Bronze Thistle Qualifier completing at a speed of 12.77 kmph.  Chamfron Bellini smashed her first long arena elementary test with a win and 70.48%. Chamfron Ojo de Tigre has been at TREC camp and Chamfron Colorado has also been staying away from home bunking in with Chamfron by Dand.  Both were due to do their first 60km but unfortunately By Dand vetted out before starting leaving Jessica and Colorado to gain their first Silver Thistle Qualifier alone.

First hack in new home

Back on little fluff, I do still think I am too heavy for him but the tracks are all flat and we will need to counteract all that grass somehow.  I won't tempt fate by saying too much too soon but at no point did I feel we were clinging on to our last shredded nerve today!

Countdown

 Six weeks to go and Tizona is looking very fit!

Out out

After much thought I decided to move Spidey and today he couldn't believe his luck with ten hectares to roam and small sheep to rule over.  We were both at risk of developing "Bungalow legs" in our dotage so I shall be joining him for a stroll around the perimeter daily, it is deceptively hilly!  

St Georges Day festivities

Tizona met a dragon!  (And a dancing boar).  St Georges day festivities, Frampton on Severn 

This week in Chamfrons!

Chamfron Tigre de Ojo has been enjoying the sunset, pink pony meets pink sky.  Chamfron Almendra had her eventing debut just nine months after finishing her polo pony career.  She was a very respectable ninth at Waverton with Flo Daly doing a fabulous job as jockey.   Chamfron Nicobar jumped round his first BE100. 

Then on Sunday it was the turn of the endurance ponies, after a 4.30am start and a road closure that added an hour to the journey Jessica and Chamfron Colorado made it to Culbin for the 30km class.  Cruising round at his best speed yet, averaging 12.97 kmph SC2, HR out 36 HR return of 36/36 and he even added some extra moves to his final trot up so clearly needed another loop!  He also picked up "Best Condition" for his class and some lovely compliments from the vet.  Meanwhile Rebecca and Chamfron By Dand had a long day heading down to Seacliff, a few wrong turns meant they did around 35km and they presented to the vet quickly as it was so cold but a HR of 36 out and 47 in meant a SC2 Gold.

Bear... There!

This Bear has appeared, sat on a particularly scenic bench with a view of Earlston before him.  He looks somewhat pensive and dare I say a little lonely and abandoned.  His day might liven up tomorrow though bearing in mind he's on a blind bend a few hundred yards from a livery yard!!
