Pony Club and the H&D ODE!

Well Guys, i have great news !
Let me first start by saying that no, Georgie isn't better but i have booked the chiropractor for her for next Monday! So hopefully he'll be able to fix her, and that this next week off will let her rest and help her muscles relax again.
However, the amazing lady that owns Slate said that i could take him to Pony Club, and ride him in the ODE. I am so so so so excited for this Sunday, i can't wait. It will be like my old 12 year old self. Of course a few things have changed, we've both got older, wiser (Slate has atleast..) and we've both been through a lot, so it will be interesting to see if we are both still as connected as we once were.

If your new to this blog, let me just say that Slate is a legend of a horse. He is simply amazing and one of a kind, and i am so lucky to have this opportunity to ride him again.

I will of course keep you all updated, but i am only 5 weeks away from grade 10 exams so if i'm a bit late on the blog posts, i'm sorry! The only reason i'm writing in the middle of the day today is because i'm at home sick. :(

Anyways, please wish me luck! I know you all will. :P

'Horses, who'd have them?'

So the name of todays blog post has everything to do with this next paragraph. I don't even know what to write really. This weekend was terrible, 3 out of 4 horses injured in two days! Including Georgie! The muscles in her hindquaters and back legs have seized up and she's quite tight, probably from either slipping over or having a fight with one of the others. This means no riding and she needs a chircopracter. I'm really a lot upset, we were going to PC for the first time in months next weekend because my shoulder has finally come right, but now we just have to see how she goes during the week and on saturday. Fingers crossed for us please!

We had Georgie's first gymkhana last weekend, was such a fun relaxed day! We both had the best time and she was so well behaved! The judge in our ridden classes loved her, said 'she's a really lovely TB mare and i'd have no problems showing her in the more experinced competitions, like the Royal'. Well, i already knew she was lovely and no thanks to the showing as me and Georgie are more keen on eventing but i was still very pleased with my beautiful girl!

Also, i'd like to thank Ruffles from 'Just A Girl and Her Horse' for my award for this blog! It was my first award and i really appreciate it! It has made me much more motivated to write more frequent blogs. I'd give Ruffles an award back, as i lover her blog! However i actually have no idea how 'awards' work, or what they mean. But Ruffles, please know that if i did have a clue you'd be the first person i'd give one to!

Anyways, as usual i'll attach some photos, these are the ones from the gymkhana last Sunday! I'll also attach a link to my youtube account, i started all over again so at the minute there are only three videos up but please watch them!
Also, please leave a comment or subscribe to my blog, i love hearing from you all!
