quick updates



Well Nel and I missed out on the jumping down at L.Jane's again. This time it was because she threw up lame. She had an old injury to her shoulder that plays up from time to time so she is on the No Bute as well now. Even Mum said that its time to face facts that they are old horses so now Tralee is on 25ml, Nel is on 15ml - which we will start reducing to 10ml again soon, and Rocky is on 10ml.

We saw Gemma the other day and Lucy is doing fine back in her home. She and Jasper are getting along great and her back shoes have come off - an official sign of retirement. Gemma is still taking her out occasionaly but we are hoping that she will not be coming back to us this winter.

Emma is riding again and we are back to our usual pace with lots of canter work. The trotting is a bit much for her so we try not to do much of that. She is coming up this week to help re-paint the stable walls and Alex and Pip have asked if she would ride Truffles as he is starting to get a bit too wide for the little girls to straddle. ;D

I'll blog again later in the week but for the moment I'm busy busy busy!
