Not only have I had to deal with the dreaded OFSTED at work (academy passed with GOOD, thanks for asking) but this weekend the livery yard is playing host to a 3 day charity event.
Today was the showjumping day, and on a dry but cloudy day we had a nice turnout for what can only be described as an enjoyable and friendly local show. I was manning the all day clear round, which sadly wasnt very popular, but the lack of competitors for that allowed me to indulge my passion for photography. Taking over 300 photos today, that I have made available for free to all who attended, made me feel better that I wasnt able to compete with Chico this time.
Below is my favourite photo from today, I think it just sums up the relaxed atmosphere of the day.
Now for news of Chico. Well as the title says 'no news is good news'. Chico continues to increase weekly in the amount of time he is able to stay out grazing. His cheeky demeanor ensure I am always well aware of his excitement to go out each day. His strength of spirit to fight his horrendous ordeal remains steadfast and I feel optimistic that he will make a complete recovery.
An early night is needed now as tomorrow we have another full show day, in-hand, ridden and novelty classes are sure to keep me constantly busy and entertained. Everyone keep your fingers crossed that the forecast rain takes pity on our humble cause and quietly passes up by.
