This time next week we'll be at Houghton! Harry is doing the CCIYR** this is now the National under 21 Championship, it also plays a big part in the selection process for the Young Rider European Team. So after a very long drive, I'll get Harry all settled in his stable and then all I have on Wednesday is the briefing. The first trot up will be Thursday afternoon. Dressage starts on Friday for the 26 combinations before the exciting Cross Country on Saturday!! Then Finally Showjumping on Sunday to decide the winner, I wonder if it will be as dramatic as Badminton!
Before all of that I still have a busy week. Harry is does his last Showjumping preparations on Thursday before an easy few days before we leave. We then head to Mount Ballan on Sunday with 3 horses. Faro is doing his first event in the BE90, Harvey joins him in the BE90 hoping for another outstanding dressage test and finally Joey is doing his second BE100. Can he keep up his good form and make it four placings out of four events?!
The 4YO's are both showing great potential, they are both starting to jump and the flat work is coming on well. Soon they will start going out, first to some showjumping and then cross country, lets hope they enjoy it!
So looking forward to an exciting month, it will be very busy and hopefully very rewarding! Stay posted to find out how it all goes.
