Welcome to blog! I started it in 2020 to chart my recovery from breaking my ankle (hence the name). I guess no-one saw a global pandemic coming. It's turned into a place where I can talk about the things happening in my life, my horse and my cats. Enjoy!
Thought I’d take a photo of Hugo on my lap. This was the result. Very ghostly. And rather apt for Halloween. As is a black cat on lap.
I even broke out my Halloween t-shirt for tonight’s exercise class. Though there were some rather ghoulish faces pulled with some of the exercises. I’m sure Buddy will thank me for strengthening my core.
Happy Halloween everyone!
Happy Halloween everyone. It was very foggy when I got to the yard this morning. Pretty apt for Halloween.
Thankfully it had cleared by the time I took Buddy into the arena to pop a few jumps. I’ve found that riding first thing really sets me up for the rest of the day.
Now I’m very used to spooks with Buddy, but today was a different type of spooky. I was judging a Halloween show jumping show. It was great to see so many people making the effort to dress up. And the horses weren’t left out either! Lots of fun had by all.
This made me giggle as I left the venue. Clearly this rider wasn’t ready for trouble.
This is what happens when you try to take a Halloween picture of your black cat with a pumpkin you grew.
He tried to kill it. Made me laugh. What is it they say about working with children and animals…?!
So it appears I am channelling vampire tendencies again. Got a few odd looks today as a result. The trouble is that I totally forgot about it. Till someone mentions it.
Not a clue what causes it, but I can get them when I’m over tired. The last few weeks (months / years) have caught up with me a bit. Feeling rather tired today. So looking forward to an early night. Not very vampire at all.
Halloween was so last month…. Normal Pip service will be back soon.
Given Buddy’s had a bit of time off while I was away, I thought it best to lunge him today. I was expecting a bit of a horror show but he was rather sedate.
I’ve been forgiven it seems as he gave me lots of nuzzles and a bit of grooming. He makes my heart burst, he really does.
Looking forward to hacking out tomorrow.
