Hey guys

I have just returned from my holiday in Cornwall which was lovely! However, the down side is that Chilli has had a week off, and I need to work hard on her schooling this week to get her fit for competition.

Amy (our brood mare) and Tizzy (her foal) have now been moved into a different field with another mare and foal. The mare is a grey connemara, and her foal is called ‘Ugly Betsy’! Betsy is only a month older than Tizzy but she towers over her. Luckily they both seem to get on very well and have become the best of friends!

Before I went away, I went x-country schooling with my friend Annabel. We had great fun and by the end we had jumped over coffins, ditches, arrowheads, steps, logs and even had a splash through the water. Since it had rained so much we had to be careful jumping into the water. It was so deep, it tickled Chilli’s tummy as we went through and she was not too keen on that!

I am now making full use of what is left of the summer holiday to get Chilli ready for a Hunter Trials.

See ya,

Sophie
