Hi

Once again, it has been a while since I updated…..sorry. It feels like not much has been happening and yet I feel really busy.

I have been dog walking in the Botanic Gardens with Gill (and Storm), Tracy and Tracy’s mum (with Mindy). It was a very wet day but it was lovely to get out and the dogs really enjoyed it.

I haven’t ridden much as the shorter evenings make it very, very difficult, especially as Spyke tends to be a bit of a klutz when it gets darker. I had two competitions lined up to end the season on but didn’t manage to do either. The first was a show hunter day with the riding club, it was postponed as it was just too windy. The second was a dressage day and was to be our very first novice outing but unfortunately the truck I borrow was making some pretty scary grindy noises so we had to scratch from the competition. I was a bit gutted as Spyke had been going really well the night before.

It is quite cold now. The horses are in their winter woollies and Spyke is possibly getting clipped this weekend. The dogs are quite enjoying the colder weather and actually, so am I (although I’m pretty sure I won’t be saying that in a few months).
