The season starts

Well first show of the season and I'm sans pony lol. Rory is out of action due to a very rotten tooth removal- amazing to watch as they cut a 1cm gash in his cheek to put a drill bit through and also had a camera in his mouth so got to watch all angles! Hence poor boy is on hiatus until at least the end of april and then I'll try and do some long reining etc before getting back on. Duke is a hairy yak that I haven't got back on yet as we decided to turn him awa for the end of winter as he was starting to look gangly (again!) so Pait is the only currently ridden dales and she was stolen by Em a long time ago lol.
Decided to take her out to a little local show and some of the other ponies behaviour was interesting to say the least but she warmed up amazing and went in her class and held it together even with one pony going to vertical I was amazed it didn't go over and 2 others overtaking so close they nearly put her in the wall. She was placed second but to be honest it's more how well she came out for her first show of the season.
