didn't wake up in time to go out hunting so I just jumped him in the school. We did a 2ft x-pole a few times before moving on to the 2ft 6 triple bar. He was very good except for a little blip where the sleet got too much and he just galloped round and round the arena for at least 20 circuits. Muppet!

sorry sorry sorry I haven't posted in a long long time :) Blogger had an attack and refused to let me log on grr.

Well - we are well and truly into the cold weather, hunting has started and we went out last saturday for hound exercise. He was an absolute star, jumped everything I pointed him at and didn't embarass me at all. He was better than a lot of the experienced hunters.

They say however, that the second or third time out is when they explode...so cross your fingers for me tomorrow :D hopefully I'll still be able to blog from my hospital bed...

Mum had a lesson today, started on shoulder in, and worked on leg yield, turn on the forehand and a nice rhythmical trot. Apparently he was a very good boy :)

In other news, he's filled out and settled down, hunting seemed to chill him out more than anything. I always knew he was a bit weird!
