No go

Well the show is out of the question. Both Nell and Tralee are about ready to throw their shoes. Nell is holding on to them better than ever - they've both been about 8 weeks since Tony last came out and considering this time last year she was losing them after only two weeks her hoof horn has definately improved. It also goes to show that if you are trying to save money, ride your horse a bit gentler and the shoes and hooves will both benefit.
So now I have my gaze fixed on the 9th August when the next show jumping will be happening. Perhaps it's for the best and Emma may be able to take Tralee by then.
Well, having to shoe Nell less frequently will save me quite a bit of money and other news, I bought out the share Allison had in the jumps with her horse Fliss for £80. That now means we can use the jumps whenever we want. We now have plenty of time to practice for the next show and hopefully I will have someone to come with me.
