So far all my May plans have been well and truly chucked out the window. Horses!!

A Week of Jumping pt 2

Equine Osteopathy
Osteopathy - a system of complementary medicine involving the treatment of medical disorders through the manipulation and massage of the skeleton and musculature.

Jumping lessons

Clipping …
As winter draws in it is time for a clip, something I love when it has been done but dread in the run up to. As much as I would love Eva to have a full clip or a hunter clip this is just not on our Evas schedule. Since Eva gets friendly with her [...]
