Warning: you will want to take these home with you!
Look what caught my eye warming up for the dressage this morning, coming out of the mist like a vision!
Sydney Ayres is riding in the Junior Training Division, and I was very happy to catch up with her right before she show-jumped, and find out a little bit more about this lovely creature!
Pony Boy jumped an immaculate clear, piloted beautifully by Sydney, and to much applause!
and then, as if that wasn’t enough….look what I saw heading back to my house the stables!
This one I could almost do a straight swap for Leo! In all seriousness, I saw so many wonderful horses, and ponies today, of all shapes and sizes and was bowled over by how wonderful these eventers are; that they go round and round in circles, they try their utmost a large majority of the time, to jump the fences from no matter what distance. These schoolmasters who carry on regardless, you can almost see them shrugging their shoulders and raising their eyebrows, and yet they prick their ears and keep going. More from Maydaze shortly, but in the meantime, go and hug your horse, pony or labrador, (of course I’d never swap him, but I still have two children to bargain with!) and go eventing!
