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!
Well my self-imposed saddle pad ban has held firm for a while now. Then they had a sale…. And my resolve waivered.
So Buddy is the proud owner of two new saddle pads. One in Kiwi and one in Sage. In my defence. He has got a couple of pads that have seen better days. So these will replace those.
I can’t wait to put them on him. I think he’s going to look very smart indeed! Just need the weather to improve so I can actually take him somewhere now.
Right Summer I am officially ready for you. Last week, I bought four new pairs of shorts. Today, my lightweight reincoat arrived.
The shorts I have had definitely see better days. They’re too big too. I had some time to kill as I was waiting for my dentist appointment, so off I popped to search for shorts. They were on sale too! Well I guess there’s no that much call for them – with all the rain and cool temperatures.
After getting soaked on Saturday, I treated myself to a riding raincoat. I love my Equidry, but it’s the winter version. So this one is a lightweight version from a different manufacturer. Isn’t the colour lush?!
Let’s see which gets the most use. Cast your votes now people…
This is what happens when the tail flap comes off your rug, your Mother gets a 15% discount voucher and there’s a sale on. Happy New Rug Day Buddy!!
Yes I know that’s not an official thing. But it could be. My rug addiction has been under control recently. I even sold some. And I haven’t bought a new rug for ages.
Not that I’m justifying my purchase of course. Doesn’t Buddy look smart in it?
We headed over to World Horse Welfare today for a lesson with Simon Grieve. Always a fun thing to do.
We took a detour on the way there to check out the sale at Express Equine. Buddy got carrots. And I bought myself a new riding hat.
When we got to the lesson, Buddy was a little gung-ho to start off with. He didn’t want to do poles. He was very keen to get jumping.
Thankfully when we did get jumping, he was on top form! Even when I got some rather dodgy lines or strides. He still jumped everything. Shows me how far we’ve come.
