Gracie and I have been asked to be the reserve rider for a team for the BHS adult mounted games, which will be held at Rodbaston in May. The instructor lady on our yard always enters a team so it means that practise sessions will be at "home". Gracie loves mounted games, we practised a bit two years ago to be on the team but she got SO excited that she started to scare me a bit and as I'd only had her for a few weeks back then, I pulled out before my nerve went. Two years later I'm not bothered by her excited high jinks any more (now I know her I think they're quite fun and I love that she gets so excited with enjoyment) so we'll be able to have lots of fun practising over the next few weeks, probably without the stress of actually competing (although you never know!)
