Fast pace day today. Not a great start as my train was delayed so I missed the next connecting one which made me half an hour late for work.
After some early morning lessons I then spent the rest of the day running one of my Intensive Training Day for Pauline. She is now at a stage when she is learning how to ride a horse to the contact and put it on the bit as well as pushing her riding fitness levels. The session on light seat and jumping seemed to worn my poor rider out ;) More of those needed!
Working day over Pauline and I went to view a horse that is a potential project for us to have a bit of fun with as well as being a potential horse for the Equestrian Academy project.
Little horse went really well, he is by no means perfect but is nice enough, have a lovely attitude to work being also responsive and very sweet natured. We are going to have him vetted and providing that goes well he will be bought.

Good luck with the vetting!
Thank you! I'm trying not to get excited about it and almost keep myself a bit detached until he passes the vetting. We only have a very small budget so the horses I tried all have a problem here and there - this is why we are having 5 stage vetting done and the aim is to analyse the problem(s) and determine how(and if) detrimental they might be in horse's later life. So fingers tightly crossed but no jumping around until we have a vet certificate.
