Before the lock down I was hoping that Eva and I would be out and about this summer to do a fair amount, either eventing, showjumping or maybe even a beach trip. I had even penciled in what heights that I was planning on doing which included moving up a level but with everything that [...]

Back to Showjumping
There were many things I was planning for our first showing competition of the year to be
Rain and wind, then some more rain
It feels like it's been several weeks since we've had a day where it has not been raining, blowing a hurricane, or both!! I think we all get a bit demotivated around this time of year. Its getting lighter but it is still not light enough to hack afterwork. The eventing season is very close [...]

Hopetoun
The week before Wednesday night we had a lesson, it had certainly been a while since we had one, and Eva and I did need a bit of a nudge - read "kick up the ass" - in the right direction as I was descending back in to the habit of doing everything. And Eva [...]
