Hi there everyone

Sarah and Tippy here:

I don't know about you guys but I'm getting fed up with the winter weather. It's dark, cold and wet! You never know though; it's supposed to be snowing soon, which although it will be even colder, it'll be good fun kicking around in the white stuff. The problem with snow though, is that you can't really ride in it. If snow balls up in your pony's hooves (which is always does in Tippy's, no matter how much grease is packed in) you end up riding on stilts made up of snow. This not only poses a slipping risk but can put abnormal pressure on your pony's joints, risking permanent damage.

Anyways, this week has seen a big announcement from the British Open Show Jumping Champs... Katie Price has agreed to take part in a celebrity arena polo match. The match will be held at the show on April 19, although her fellow celeb team captain has not yet been announced. Katie has played polo before, so whoever she's up against had best get practising.

Katie rode in a dressage display at HOYS last year.
