D day came and went!

22th October 2008

D day came and went !(20th) im now getting rather fed up, my back hurts so much i cant even keep the house in order, so much for Gavin my Chiro saying he thought it would come early, he got my hopes up and then nothing happened, now its the 22rd of October and im thinking maybe Dean is right its just a Kebab belly and there is no baby at all, Dean said if it doesnt come in the next 4 days he doesnt want to bother and he wants his money back!!

Oh well all i can do is exist!

Grove and Rurford Pony Club Hunter Trial

5th October 2008

We woke up to it pelting it down with rain and it had been doing the same all night! but

today was the the horses last outing before baby is to be born so i convinced Dean we should go, It was a sad day for me as watching the competing has been all that has kept me going, something to focus on and enjoy while I couldn't ride, Dean was riding both today as Angus was busy, Dean hasn't sat on Hammy since the last competition in August so this was going to be fun, plus it was a step up from the last cross country it had more testing fences for Hammy.

Soil went first and ballooned round all the fences, the ground was very wet and the take off was proving not too good, it was pulling a tendon ground which i know Soli can cope with but Hammy with being older prefer a much firmer ground.

Now it was Hammys turn, well to my amazement she trammed round didn't even look at the open ditch or the water but I could see by the second to last fence she had run out of steam, Dean said he had thought of getting off and putting her on his back to finish the course! she has got a little un fit due to only hacking twice a week.

Both horse got clear!

Some Photo's of them both, I know they are not big fences but it was a day out for them. And most of all me!!!!
