Well, the wonderful weather over the weekend helped to kick start me to think about some cross country practise with Harry. I had hoped to go on Saturday, but as Harry had been under the weather the week before, we opted to go Sunday.
Chilham is a lovely venue and enough open space that even if it is busy you can find a quiet spot to play. I was joined by my Blenheim team mate, Claire on her young connie pony, who was wonderful to watch as he had fun popping some sizeable fences.
Harry was great, no issues at the ditches - and even ventured in to the water with very little fuss. We did have an issue of him jumping a fence a stride or two before the water, but we resolved this after a little discussion. We also tackled some novices fences - boy these now look big... I am sure they have got bigger over the 20 or so years when I last tackled a Novice course!
It was a lovely day, and I achieved what I wanted which was to have a nice time and give Harry a nice run out.
Deli on the other hand has decided to come out in lumps...and then on Wednesday morning she had rubbed the top of the lump... thing is, it is right were the reins run, so she has managed to get herself off work for a few days until that heals!
Tim is away in Sunny Yorkshire, seeing farmers and selling machines... what a star!
