All set for the week-end and now that the ground has thawed out we have been doing a lot of schooling with varying results..... Ben had just jumped the big brush fences beautifully with Varkala, but then when put over the Easy Fix fences decided he had had enough....... naughty boy! Pete was 100% committed though, there was absolutely no doubt about that!! We then jumped him again over the same fences and he was absolutely fine. He has got a lot of ability, it is now our job to make sure he channels it in the right direction...

This is Eeyore following Jess, being a very good boy. We have entered Jess in the restricted for Mollington, although if it gets too soft she wont run, and Ben for the maiden. Goody (Lady Barfad) is entered for the mares maiden at Atherstone, as is Varkala (Rhonda) and Popaway is in the confined.
