Like everyone else in the UK we've had roasting hot weather. I still managed to ride all of the days except for the bank holiday Monday, when much to Harveys disgust he had to have a bath.

quiet week ridden couple of time new poodle not well today so watching her

Lovely potter in the calm again, she was soooo ready to get down for grass though. I've been keeping them both in for a bit longer in a morning (they are out overnight) so she was anxious to get back and get her head down. She moves much faster coming back up the field I bet if I asked she might even produce a trot..........

Rode today in the misty, damp soggyness. But you know, it was great - just proves that she's the right pony for me, as I'd never have bothered if it had been Zi or even maybe Storm back in the day. I used to talk myself out of it. Anyway, so glad I did. Quite muggy here now - hopefully will dry up a bit more.

Well just call me the potterer pursuivant! Blimey, can't remember the last time I rode in succession like this. Fabulous. Weather weird though, its gone foggy now. But we had a damp pootle again but so calm. Its usually the wind up here that is a challenge for us. Happy June to all fellow NR's as well!

Lunged today and found a little ridge since the workman have left a bump. Made use of that. She was happy to trot towards the beach.
No photos as the camera decided it wasn't saving anything
