During the week we gave Frog a gallop and afterwards made the decision to give her a holiday and then bring her back early for a campaign under rules. We made the decision partly because we no longer have Will to ride her as he is out for at least 6 months with his broken leg, and partly because she still felt a little tired and obviously gave her all during the race. She is still unfurnished and will be a serious horse next year when she has filled out and is stronger. She has exceeded our wildest expectations and we don't want to ruin her by running her again when she is not 100%. It was lovely to let her out out in the field and she is already relaxing with her best friend Skye. It is always a great relief to let a horse out on holiday having got through the season in one piece and with so much to look forward to.
