Riding in The Snow

Its been a busy week , hense my lack of posting, sorry everyone......

Ive been trying to cram everything in this week, but whatever i failed in i'll sort out later.. its good to procratinate sometimes...lol

Last night i was standing in the most beautiful garden in the snow, it was lovely getting covered and allows me to use heavy snow fall as the excuse for acting like a child..lol

Im so pleased with my kids this week, their reports were good and they had a 100% attendance record again, its not easy in school holidays to try keep working so thankfully my lot are all strong and healthy the rest of the time...

Today we thought riding would have been cancelled so i rang earlier to check, but it was still on and surprised us ...

So off we set slowly today as my road was like a skating rink, and my little girl wasnt very well bless but really did still want to still ride.... so i had to go with it..although i didnt really want her to as shes not as strong as usual and hasnt eaten much all week..

We got there and sarahs hubby John had been up digging and raking over the whole field, so although i bet he aches bless, it enabled us to still enjoy our day..so a big thank you goes out to him..

There were only 3 of us today and it was freezing and very white everywhere, but once we got started we soon warmed up, Shadow was having another really eratically fast day again, all three horses were strange to say the least.....

Anyway nearly half way through the lesson we were all cantering round one at a time and it was then laurens turn on her pony, thats where it all kind of went wrong........

She was cantering round the ring and a lump of snow fell from the ridge of the fence , it wasnt big but scared her pony badly, she then bucked in canter and off over the horses heas went Lauren doing a somersault.............

I have never shouted so loud, i honestly thought the pony was going to ride over her, but somehow it managed to avoid her, she did right and as weve both been told, rolled and curled up and thankfully apart from scaring the hell out of us and a good few bruises shes ok, i told sarah not to make her get back on the pony, Lauren has to do what she feels and it was a really bad fall, but bless after 20 mins and getting her wind back she asked to go back on.........i am really proud of her today,she was so brave and determined ...

Anyway we took a few photos today , there would have been more but the camera got thrown when lauren did but im sure well make up for it next week....

So we gave them their polos said a big thank you to John and came home, i then had a salsa lesson to do.... so i have very sore feet now..lol

Have a great weekend everyone, ill be thinking of my friends at chant tonight and sending them all my warmest wishes, but for reasons beyond my control i cant sadly be there, although i wanted to more than ever........... so ill wish you all a fantastic night and sending loads of love from me.......
