Unaffiliated Jumping // Novemeber ’18
Last weekend I entered Eva and I in an unaffiliated showjumping competition. I entered us in the 90cm class which was run as a table A7, which means that everyone jumps a round and if clear they go on to a jump off round which is a short course against the clock. Overall I am … Continue reading Unaffiliated Jumping // Novemeber ’18

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.

As I have previously mentioned Eva is a very independent horse and quite frankly I am the mere human that gets in her way. First up is a common ride out.

Solid Ground
Last year I took the back shoes off of Eva. I took them off after she lost one of the back shoes and there was a bit of fuss about getting it back on. I realised that she didn't appear to be bothered about the missing shoe and the fact that the last few times … Continue reading Solid Ground
Changes
While this blog/corner of the internet is primarily about the mishaps adventures of myself and Eva, I do like adding in posts with a difference, these might be on topics that either I find interesting, have caught my attention or -I feel- would be of interest to anyone reading. That being said it is mostly … Continue reading Changes
