Do ever have those days where you spend so much time helping other people it seems you have non left for yourself? Saturday was a bit like that. I started with poo picking, grooming and feeding the foster ponies, then off to my own yard to muck out. I then mentored our groom for jumping practice. After that time for lunch (mid afternoon by now!) followed by mentoring the groom on the yards new project pony. I then squeezed in 30 minutes in the school to ride myself popping a few jumps on Harvey, followed by poo picking for the 8 yard ponies (horses) (with some help)
My lorry has broken down yet again but on Sunday I was able to borrow YOs lorry to go to a local fun ride. My OH is still recovering from her op so I had to go on my own, but I had arranged to meet a lady I have ridden with before. YOs lorry has no tie ups and Harvey travels well but doesn't like standing on the box so I needed a bit of help!
Harvey was a bit over excited so I was only marginally in control a lot of the time but we both had fun. The official photographer took a nice pic of Harvey raring to get to the fence which I have bought but it hasn't arrived yet.
Going home nearly got exciting when the satnav tried to direct me down some tiny backstreets in Stratford Upon Avon (in a 7.5t lorry) - fortunately I realised what it was going to do and ignored it
Harvey managing to take up the whole of a 3 horse lorry! (this was just while we were getting ready)
