I had a very interesting week so far, yesterday I took squeak to clear round . With the help of my trainer and very close friend Lars he taught me some methods to get him on the lorry, as it took one hour the first time and even longer on the way home. Yesterday it took one minute , I have to say what an absolute blessing that I have a friend like that. I was over there for lunch in the week and as usual , I had a really good time . Lars is very funny, he’s very unforgiving , he is the most like me ive ever met in a person. As a present , I made them a quiche , which actually Diana taught me how to cook. I was not expecting them to eat it in front of me ( how embarrassing ) . I was hoping they would freeze it and have it later..funny though , Lars even asked for seconds ..I was extremely pleased with myself . Diana’s sending me a risotto recipe , and I can’t wait to have a go at that, they eat very healthily .
So anyway , yes , squeak – jumped a lovely clear with chelsie , I was very happy about that, it looks like I’ve bought myself a very nice talented youngster . While I was at the show a lovely young girl , who I helped in the warm up, came out of the arena and had a aneurism . It was all very sad , I heard today she is now in a coma . I will never forget how her face changed , it will haunt me for the rest of my life . I do hope and pray she makes it , she was married , and I can’t imagine how her poor family must be feeling .
On a brighter note I went back today with sky and sparkles , sparkles is amazing , God is so faithful , I’ve really had to work with this horse , he has a nasty rear in him . I have to say though he was so perfect and lovely today he came 5th in his first class, and one down in the second . I think he is going to be world class , he has everything in his favour , and although this is the beginning , I’m a better rider now than ive ever been, so I believe I will produce him very well.
Sky did another double clear in the foxhunter, he was super sharp and I was tired , so I didn’t give him a good ride , I’m disappointed in myself for that. I won’t take him again as it’s not fair that I ride him tired . He has a lot coming up on his calendar so I will get the chance to redeem myself .
I had a lovely chat with an old friend at the show , that was really nice and when I got home I had a lovely call from a lady at my church. We had a very nice chat about life and I realsise I’m a very lucky person.
I’m entering a new chapter in my life now and my horses are going to be predominantly the focus for a while . I thank god with all my heart for giving me the opportunities he is given me . Strange as it is but all the people that I love the most are so close to God , I feel absolutely protected by them . And I feel God really pushing me forward into something very special..this is very exciting .
Anyway, I’ve made a nice quiche , for nik , so I better go as he wont wait any longer ..😜
