Timing

They say trust the timing of your life. Well I’m having trust issues with mine today.

This morning, I went to sit on the sofa arm. Totally mistimed it and ended up on falling backwards onto the floor. Landed on my hand and jarred myself. Bert was most concerned.

Then we went out for our walk. Mistimed it so ended up getting caught in a shower. Was resigning myself to yet another soaking, when I remembered there is one of those emergency hoods on my coat.

Except it was too big for my head as it’s designed to go over a riding hat. So kept blowing off. Have you ever tried to pick up dog poo while holding a lead, stopping your hood blowing down and trying not to slide over in the mud. Thankfully I ended up laughing at my situation. And didn’t faceplant.

Then I headed to the yard, just as the heaven’s opened again. So got my timing wrong there.

Finally I forgot to put the timer on for my dinner so managed to burnt it.

Let’s hope my timing is better tomorrow…

Team Manager

Today was the big day at Hickstead. No, not the King George V Cup. The BRC Team of 3 competition of course. Carleton Riding Club were there with four teams. I was there as the Team Manager. I had 12 riders and horses to support. That’s a lot!

It was a hot day, but they rattled through the class. It meant getting all the riders down to the ring at the right time was a bit of a challenge. Every one of our riders out a score on the board. With our highest placed team taking 5th out of 38.

I’m exhausted. But then I rode 12 rounds today. I shall sleep very well tonight.
