Hey guys and girls

Jennie here:

Had another lesson today…pretty much the same as always so won’t go on too much. Desmond broke wind a lot and I didn’t do my girth up tight enough to begin with (cos Desmond tries to bite me when I do it) so when I tried to get on the saddle slipped round! Won’t be doing that again.

Riding was pretty good. My legs wore out quick cos I’ve had a few weeks off but I did get Desmond flexing down and bending and my lines are getting straighter across the school. Also wasn’t too bad at leg yielding (on one rein at least, I was appalling on the other!)

Went to interview William Whitaker this week. Got to admit I have a bit of a crush on him; he is so sweet, really helpful, an AMAZING rider and told us THE funniest cringe which made him seem even sweeter. Look out for that corker in future H+P issues.

Uncle Michael was there too and he gave us some top tips for jumping which will be in H+P soon too. This was after our photographer Angus confused some random bloke on the yard for Michael. Laura about wet herself at his massive slip-up (and she wonders why I don’t take her anywhere)!
Much love to all xxxx
