Update November 09

Thought I had better update this. Bam has sold and goes in a few hours to a fantastic home. Yay for Bam. Jack is all better after his sore foot and been to a couple of shows. Got a 4th and a 5th in the SH at Manawatu so now has 3 SH points. And completed a Training horse trial yesterday at QEP. 1 rider rail in the SJ and cruised home easily clear XC. Still needs some dressage work though.

Fox has been out and about. 4 SH points at Carterton, then another 4 at Manawatu even though I'm not really intending to SH him. I took him eventing yesterday also doing Novice and we should have cruised home easy but he just wasn't happy and bowling like he usually is. About 5 fences from home he got underneath a big table top and caught his knees and just tipped me off. I landed on my feet but rolled my ankle on the uneven ground and its got a nasty sprain so I opted not to complete XC as I couldn't hold my balance anymore. However I was happy as with his dressage and his SJ was a excellent clear round and he was really tidy and listening to me. Guess you take the good with the bad with horses aye :-)

Jack will be on the market hopefully before Xmas and I will continue to SH him and SJ him until he sells. Hes a cool boy but I dont have the $ to compete 2 horses.
