Brina has been great. She has a couple of minor issues but with being on complete lock down we have avoided any real problems. She is still getting soaked, mashed food and is slowly putting on weight.
Spyke is now back in work, 2 months later than usual and has been pretty good so far. He has felt a bit bucky at the canter which made me realise that I haven’t actually lunged him at all this season. He likes to have a good buck on the lunge and was obviously ‘feeling the need’. So I gave a bit of a lunge on Tuesday and sure enough, there was a great deal of bucking. Hopefully that is now out of his system.
We had our first forest ride on Saturday. Kristina and I took Spyke and Oscar for a bit of a womble. The boys were very, very good although BOTH managed to lose a shoe, I suspect they lost them when Oscar stood on Spyke’s back foot.
I have sent in the entries for our first dressage comp of the season. We are doing two novice (gulp) tests at the Riding Club. I am not sure that we will be ready in three weeks but we shall give it a shot!!!!
