Still hot, so I didn't want to ask too much of Harvey. On Thursday and Friday we just had an hour out hacking with a little canter on the bridleway, and then back for a nice cooling spray off with the hose.
Saturday was a quick play in the school
Sunday was a fun ride with K. We booked an 11:30 start to try and avoid the worst of the heat and it wasn't too bad. The course was 9 miles with lots of jumps to do (we only did about 10 as the horses aren't mega fit and it was hot). Lots of canters but with good spaces to cool off between. I *just* managed to get off the car park with the wheels scrabbling for grip and I saw on FB later several people did get stuck (they had a tractor on standby). Sadly the official phot wasn't very good so no pics...
The only pic I took all weekend!
