Nobblesse is out of the Nationals

Bad news....last week we posted our entries to the Dressage Nationals including the ones for Nobblesse who was looking sound and raring to go - but today he is not so instead of going to the Nationals we will be taking him back to the vets for scans!  We are all very dissappointed, but hopeful it will be nothing serious and he will be okay soon.  I have to look to the long term.

On the brighter side, Dolce Vita and Vanita the two going to the Championships are coming on very well and I am now looking at music for them for the Winter Championship Kur qualifiers, along with their normal classes.

Rubin is coming back to work and I am sure he will be doing Prix St George next season.  Diva - well she is fabulous!  I so love riding her.  She will be out after the Nationals.  Quichi is getting more confident and is looking very exciting for the future.  Coco the foal also looks set to be a head turner.

The para-rider who trains and liveries here sold her pony recently, and it has taken a little time but we have found her the perfect horse so we are hoping that she will be on the para-team next season.

Hope to see you at the Nationals!
