We schooled Glory Hunter, Endofdiscussion , Intimate Whisper, Back in a Flash, We Never Give Up and Velvet Cloud over the schooling fences and Popaway and Dr K in the ménage.
When we were riding back from the schooling field the much talked about partial eclipse of the sun took place. The sky darkened and the air temperature dropped considerably. There was a really strange light and when we got back to the yard I noticed that the hens were all huddled on top of the hen house as if going to roost. The ducks, bless them, were completely oblivious and were going about their normal business. Half an hour later the sun reappeared, the hens came back down from their roost and it was the most glorious day. Unfortunately I hadn't invested in the special 'eclipse goggles' so I wasn't able to see it in detail but it was rather surreal.
Cloud and Endo are going to Siddington tomorrow and We Never Give Up, Glory Hunter and Popaway are going to Brafield on the Green on Sunday. Fingers crossed they all come home safely.
