the beginning of June has been great, not particularly warm but good fun. Sparkles and sky have been brilliant , being placed at every show they go to, sparkles has turned a corner and become just a lovely horse to ride , he’s big but very sensitive , thank fully nothing like his mother and. Every bit to ride like his dad, I actually am finding him very easy , he went to crofton  manor yesterday , jumped in the main arena and was brilliant , I was there really for sky, it was his regionals for newcomers , I had an unlucky fence down, I wasn’t gutted as I had to stay and watch the rest, the second round was 140, which was far too strong for him at this stage and the third was 150 , so it would appear they are out of my league this year at least. And I’m not going to bother with the foxhunter at all, sky is very small just about 15.3 although he has the power I have held him back for a year to build strength , sadly because of his sharpness I have had to keep him in a field , so he doesn’t appear to build muscle , as I can’t feed him at all . But it works , he’s happy now and easy to ride and beautifully schooled . I notice people watch him in the warm up . Sparkles on the other hand is easy to feed and work, so looks amazing . Squeak is very spooky which is disappointing . I’m not sure he will grow out of it , if he doesn’t soon I would be tempted to sell him. He’s very careful and has a classic technic , however probably needs a stronger pair of legs and I need the money , so I’m in two minds as to what to do with him. I will let another jockey on board for a while .
Everything at the yard is going nicely , I’ve got three new liveries this week , they are diy , I’m going to try this and see if it works for me , the less work approach is needed , it’s a big place now for just chelsie and me to do on our own.
My father came and paid a visit tho other day , it was nice to see him , I could see he was proud of what I had achieved . He brought a friend up who is an architect . I’m hoping together they will build me a house . It’s the one and only thing I need now I’m my life . I have the perfect man who will hopefully one day be my husband , and together we would enjoy building a house there.
I’ve always felt this would happen , in a relaxed way I’m optimistic .
Robert ‘s business is picking up now , and the future looks good . I just wish we could have a holiday soon as all the shows and late nights are making me very tired .
This week I have no plans yet, I may go to keysoe on Wednesday with the youngsters and no idea what I’m doing with sky. I will endeavour to keep you all in touch. God is faithful.
