Well, since getting the internet back i haven't actually been blogging as much as i expected due to exams and revision, so ill just go over some of the things I have been up to with mr sparky.

We have been to 2 shows this year.  At the minute I'm not going to win, just to get him used to the atmosphere so that once we get our own trailer I can start to take him showjumping.  In the first one he was placed 2nd in the coloured ridden class(although that was out of three...) and not placed in the under 16 ridden class.  St the second show unfortunately he wasnt placed for a number of reasons.  But again, I must stress that I am not a competitive person and at the minute it is all a learning curve.

We have been doing some more cross country.  Now, at the minute we usually walk between fences and then canter up to them.  My goal for the summer(especially as i have the long summer this year due to exam leave) is to get round the entire cross country in trot/canter/gallop.  As a result of this I am currently doing a lot of fittening work including lots of trot, canter and at least agallop every other day.

Well, thats all for now, I will try to be more of a regular from now on.
