Hi

Jennie here:

Sorry about the lack of blog action lately. We’ve had an obscenely busy couple of weeks.

Ponies UK took place at Newark Showground last week and the H+P team were there meeting all your gorgeous show ponies and admiring you guys in your posh togs. Gorgeous!

The most random thing I saw was a bikini clad miniature horse. I wouldn’t have batted an eye lid if his owner had been dressed up too, but no, he was just strutting around in a teensy weensy yellow bikini!

Then it was a quick move to Shelford Manor last weekend for the start of the Pony Club Championships. We were beginning to get a bit tired at this point and things got pretty silly on the stand on Monday when Laura and I roped in some firemen to jump the Mini-Jumps clear round showjumping course. We've been raising money for the Lincs and Notts air ambulance appeal and charging people for a jump round. The boys got a clear round too, well done them!

Tuesday I did some Pony Club Press interviews and met some ace teams from Co Antrim, Brocklesby and Burghley. Look out for their stories about their Pony Clubs in future issues of H+P. Thank you to them all for their help.

So, a long weekend ahead of us now (hoorah!) and apparently the sun will be shining for most of us. Loads of time to get riding, then. Have fun x
