It's not been my week this week lambo had a rub from a new pair of overeach that came right just in time, my saddle starting slipping but fixed again just in time then about the head off to the show for three days and my lorry side door broke 🤷‍♀️ silver lining at least we're at home and we haven't got anything planned for a couple of weeks 🙃

11/05/2024

After a mini meltdown from me in the collecting ring 🤷‍♀️ lambo goes and jumps a super double clear in the foxhunter to finish 8th think he was happy to step back up again 😀 🤩😍🏆 thank you to my friends for the help and support today😊❤️

Had a fantastic show at Olney lambo jumped double clear twice, coming 3rd on day 1 and then 4th in his grand prix. Decided to drop down to a smaller class to practice speed today and just miscommunicated at the second to last for 4 faults. There's lots to take away and work on, but I'm super proud of lambs he's been a superstar ✨️ 💖 🦄 video of the Grand prix junp off yesterday ❤️💖🦄 #solucky #tooperfect #happy #fedondengie #showtime #stuebben #perfectpony #goodhorse #superstar #fuelledbyfibre #angelpony #training #winningmindset #dreambig #learnsomethingnew #trainhard

Box rest is always difficult to keep your horse entertained. Thank you Kat for loaning us your hayball. I think this will keep him entertained for a bit 😂🦄😊 #boxrest #changeofplans #goodhorse #funtimes #happyponies
