I may also take them into the arena which has a wonderful new surface from Wardley and Martin Arenas - Ridesmart. My horses are benefiting greatly from working on this material.  At long last Shawn and Martin have opened the doors to European surfacing for American riders. And at a good price.

 

 I am continuing to get to grips with the website, and today have my greatest challenge. Persuading the girls (Ali and Andrea) to allow their photographs to be taken. Will they stand still long enough or will they have to be action shots? 

 

Today is the first day of Blenheim International CCI*** in England. The Trot Up. I was hoping to take a horse over there, however as so often happens with horses, things did not go quite according to plan. I will however be watching closely as it is a beautiful Event. The course is so well built that it is a joy to ride around it. Or so I am told.  I will tell you more later!
