October means the horses are officially in during the nights until spring time. Which means mucking out time... oh good! This also means Eva is going to have a bit of a tantrum about being in at nights again for the first few days. Ok well its not a full on tantrum.

Unaffiliated Showjumping ||September ’18
A bit of a last minute decision I decided - since the previous showjumping we entered was cancelled - we may as well enter the show at the weekend and have a pop round the 90cm.
