I have had a lot of fun this week riding Dillan owned by Sabrina Jones FBHS. I really enjoyed my lessons and it was great to find purpose in my riding again. Dillan not only looked after me he did exactly what I asked and this made me giggle as sometimes I hadn't intended to ask for wiggly lines just a canter transition ... Once I relaxed and focused on feel and stopped being intimidated by riding such a superstar I had a wonderful time. Thank you Dillan for helping me get my confidence back ( thank you to Sebastian too who nursed me through my first enjoyable canter since my falls earlier in the year ) and thank you to Sabrina for understanding what I needed to do to find joy in riding again.
Good News from Jack HQ!
We now know what Jack is allergic to- midges, dust mites and stable flies. Three things I cannot eradicate from his environment!! Jack will now have a course of immunotherapy to calm down his system. Even better news the spots on his back and tummy have gone so he is coming back into work. He is also behaving much better whilst being walked in hand. I am very relieved as I was getting a bit fed up with him standing on two legs and being a diva... Ginty and Jack are very attached to each other at the moment which poses a problem in terms of doing anything where they lose site of each other. In the end yesterday I walked both of them in hand together. Felt like I was back working on a polo yard. I am looking forward to Grace coming to stay for a short holiday so that I won't have to keep borrowing Arista and Dillan to act as substitute friend every time I want to exercise one of the divas :) .
