Here's some good news for dressage from Sweden!

Translation: "Freer in dressage. Next year, nosebands will be optional for everyone competing in dressage with a snaffle bit. This is stated in the new competition regulations.
– 'I am very happy about this, but also surprised that it happened so quickly,' says My Jeppsson, judge and trainer."

Why not try No-Noseband November this year instead of no stirrups?!

Nosgrimmor har varit en het potatis inom dressyren. Nu tar Svenska Ridsportförbundet steget till att göra nosgrimmor frivilliga.

Lovely day trail hunting with the Wilton Hunt yesterday. Opening meet at the jumpy Lopshill hosted by the hugely generous Sarah Cate and Olly. The hounds ran the 6 trails well and accurately. We jumped masses, lovely welcoming hedges, and Evie was on cloud9. Her NF pony loving it, and my ex-dressage Spanish, found a new level of grit and got her bounce on. Flew! The Welsh rescue ninja who relaxes into his hunting so much we ditched the noseband.
But jeez the work prepping and tidying. I’d forgotten. Not loving that…

Daughter and pony who I produced from halter broke. The best feeling watching their friendship and trust.
