Half way through the series

Day three and Spyke was, as always, awesome (I really need a new superlative). We won the first round, I messed up the second and the last two were really, REALLY nice except he pulled a rail in both. Slightly disappointed at the rails but the rest of the jumps were place getting jumps. VERY happy about that. We are now lying second in the series, only one point behind the leader. The next round is not for 5 weeks. Bring it on!!!! I am having a BLAST!!!!

Still Awesome

Spyke is still awesome!!!!

We had our second show hunter day a few weeks ago and Spyke got a third and a FIRST!!!!! How proud am I??? Not only that but it put him at the top of the leaderboard!!!!! Look:

I had another lesson with Tracey Page this afternoon and it was fantastic. I feel like I am learning such a lot from her. I was jumping like a muppet to start with but was going MUCH better by the end of the lesson. :-) Of course Spyke was just lovely. At one point I completely lost my reins over the first jump of a double but he just kept trundling along and got me safely over the second. He is such a good boy. Have to say that I am COMPLETELY knackered now though!!!

Another SH comp this weekend. Fingers crossed I can keep my act together!!!
