Today was sunny in the morning but wet underfoot so the Saturday riding was a hack out. Everybody did very well and the ponies were very well behaved. Many thanks to Maria's Dad for the shavings for Merlin's stable (Merlin has a dust allergy). In the afternoon George, Jemma and Jade went to help with the combined training at Solihull Riding Club.The day was quieter than expected but jobs ranged from collecting dressage score sheets, to keeping the judges warm with blankets, extra coats and cups of tea as their heating was broken. It was an enjoyable afternoon and everyone was rewarded with a £5 voucher that can be used for entering competitions or hiring the school.
Buster was allowed out with his two new friends today. They got on well but as the weather was so wet and they were cantering round a lot, Barry, who owns the land, decided to separate them later to allow them to graze and settle as the heavy horses together were ploughing up the mud. We are hoping for a dryer day to allow them to canter round. They were all pretty happy but probably would have preferred to continue their play.
