Just a nosey thread from me - I love hearing what everyone is up to at the weekends
I've been very lucky & had a 3 day weekend, starting Friday.
I went to Hickstead yesterday, as it's just down the road from us. We watched a few showing classes - I particularly enjoyed the M&Ms as I have a NF myself, a couple of the big speed jumping classes, ate too much, did far too much shopping & topped up my tan nicely. I only went needing a leadrope. I came back with a new stable plaque for Pete, Dublin Pinnacle boots for me, a grazing muzzle, Joules & Toggi sleeveless t-shirts, two bottles of mane & tail spray as it was on a show offer, a tail guard for travelling, long riding socks & said leadrope ... Oops! Having spent do much money in the day, I thought it was wise to decline drinks in London in the evening, so exercised Pete, cleaned my tack & spent the evening watching some more of my DVD box set.
I was going to ride today for the first time since Pete's had laminitis, but it was pouring down with rain & he was rather fresh so I popped him over some jumps on the lunge instead. He went out in the field whilst I did my chores & watched my friend have a lesson.
I'm home now stewing in fake tan as I'm out tonight for dinner & drinks - but will pop back to see Pete to give him some more time in the field & muck out. Again ...
Tomorrow - I've got nothing planned, yet. I'm going to try and ride tomorrow - but the weather forecast isn't looking great! Unless other plans come up &/or the weather improves, it might be a lazy day at home in between horsey jobs.
What about the rest of you?!
