Must remember to complete my form for an endurance ride tomorrow. Will send it off though don't know if I am quite ready for it yet after todays escapades. I did survive and had fun at the same time.

Think their is a show near here on the 9 Aug - must check. Showing in-hand and ridden class. Will check when I get back from Malvern.

tues phew

Just returned from my ride at my friends place. We rode through acres of fields, up hill and down hill. A few good old canters and gallops. I think my boy enjoyed it although he did try to take off with me a few times. I had a few bucks and at the tail end of the ride he tried to roll with me on my back. Not good! Will know the signs for next time!

Tomorrow I'm of to the arab horse nationals at Malvern with a stall for three days. I will miss my horses! Hope the friend rides him!

Mon night

It's been very hot all day. The grass in fields seems to be growing like wildfire. The horses are putting on weight and need to get back into work.

I rode my two arab horses this evenng. It was much cooler but it was getting dark. Both were lazy!

The mare trys to avoid work at times by rooting herself up against the door. She had surgery almost two years ago to her stifle area and I am beginning to wonder if she feeling some discomfort again. She seems sound enough. Anyway I managed to get her to back up by using one of the Parelli games. She seems to really enjoy that. Vet coming very soon as her dental work is due and also vaccination. Arabs get bored very easily and need lots of different things to do.

The gelding is a gent but I think he is bored. Lazy this evening though I'm sure he will waken up tomorrow when I take him out on a little excursion to my friends yard. A nice ride through the fields in company is planned. Looking forward to it.

It's bloody hot
