I'm very excited for tommorow. I'm hiring a horsebox and taking jinks on a 45 min journey by himself to North Wales to have a lesson in an indoor school!!! If all goes well i'm going to enter my first ever dressage comp in November  :s I don't think he's ever been in an indoor school before and i'm having to drive all the way there and back! It was only 2 years ago that i finally had the confidence to drive to work by myself in my little Saxo. Because of all the driving i'm having to do i'm not worrying about riding him because that seems to be the easy part of it all lol. Will post later on tommorow to let you know how we get on  hopefully a pic of a nicely settled jinks too |

Wow, how thrilling is that! Hope all goes well for you and Jinks, and that your drive is boringly uneventful. and your lesson really helpful. Yes please, report and pics required! |

Wohoo we did it! we had awful weather in the morning so i was thinking about chickening out but then blue skies came along, still very windy though! it was a completely quiet and uneventful journey! Could have easily forgotten that he was in the back. I love NAF magic! The lesson again was completely uneventful, had a look at the usual scary things but by the end was happy to trot past everything and completely unfazed by the dressage boards. Even managed to get a canter on the correct lead! Definately going to enter my first ever dressage test now which is on the 16th nov  Just chilling by the box Video to come... |

Jinks looks rather handsome, good luck for your dressage test.

That's great, so glad your day went well! Your test looks good, Jinks looks really calm, and what a super square halt at the end! |
