Fully Clipped and ready to Go!
I would like to start with an apology. It feels like it has been ages since I last blogged but do not threat, I have not forgotten you. The last couple of weeks have been fairly non eventful to be honest. Having taken the plunge and decided that I would bring Zoe’s eventing career forwards by 6 months, the quest has been on to get the lorry up to scratch for long distance travelling. It is now fully serviced and ready for the long haul trips around the country.
This decision came about due to the fact that you can keep putting something off thinking you are not quite ready to hit the National circuit but sometimes you just need to jump in with both feet! We are consistently placed top 3 every time out without fail at the moment which I use as an indication to being BE eventing ready. So we are now fully clipped ( which required 2 sedative jabs from my vet – she is such a bright spark!), registerd and now praying we can enter our first event without getting balloted. Fingers crossed!!!
I will keep you all posted of how our preperations go, starting with an eventer training class on sunday.
Next week I am at the Cheltenham Festival so will keep you all updated daily with news of the racing, culminating with the hottley anticipated Gold Cup race with the battle of Kauto Star and Denman. So check out the horse racing page for articles from our horse racing guru!
