I had a great weekend despite all the personal crap going on. Went to Burghley on Sunday to watch the showjumping phase of the three day event and although that was fabulous, we enjoyed far more the 'Event Pony Of the Year' competition in ring two. Lots of extremely tiny children on extremely tiny ponies galloping around a mini-event course like ( Read more... )

Congrats!!!! What a huge achievement!

Welshie cobs are naturally gorgeous even if they don't have exclusive tack.

What's the Wow saddle like?

Miss Boo has a high vis yellow exercise sheet that can be seen from Outer Space. :D

Thank you :-)
He is hard work but I loves him so!
The Wow saddle works on an air system called 'flair' and it is the most comfortable thing I have ever sat on. It is fitted to the horse and the air put in whilst on it's back to ensure a perfect fit. If horsie changes shape, air system can add or take away the air. It is an AMAZING system and I wish I could buy one tomorrow!
I will send you a link tomorrow and you can read all about them. Gorgeous saddle for my gorgeous welsh!

I am blessed with a very good saddle. The owner of my former yard sold me her used Solstice Endurance Saddle from the Arabian Saddle Company and it fits Miss Boo like a dream. It's like a dressage saddle with really deep knee rolls. Perfect for hacking on steep hills.

Miss Boo was in a Wintec GP (the saddle came with her when I bought her) before and it *hurt* her which is why she was so "difficult" in the beginning--she was in pain. :(

Never again the hurting pwny times!!!!

Congrats!! I don't really know much about horses, but it's great that you've got your championship qualifier.
