An Inspirational Day

Today I went to support my coach Sacha Hamilton at the Premier League at Keysoe. She was doing the Intermediare 1 on her own horse, Active Dynamo. It was great to watch and support her, I also had great fun being her groom for the day and am looking forward to doing it again. Sacha did really well she came 7th at Intermediare 1 and she got a great score of 67.02%.
It was really inspirational and I now can’t wait to ride my horse. As one day I would love to be at that level.

I have just broken up from school for the Easter holidays and already have lots of activities planned that I am looking forward to. I also have lots of time to ride but I have also got a lot of revision to do. The first week of my holidays is going to be spent riding by myself as Sacha, my coach, is going with another rider to a Para International event in France. However in the second week I hope to have lessons every single day which should be great, as we are really starting to get over our issues.

Ady is out at night at the moment. When the vet saw her last she said she was in a great condition and everyone is always commenting about how shiny her coat is thanks to her Dengie diet! Ady is also very happy with her Dengie diet and it is giving her lots of energy, so much that we found medium trot the other day it was amazing!

Fingers crossed the sun is here to stay for the Easter holidays!
