Easter Clinic is always something to look forward to, and this year was certainly not different. I always love my drive to Monnington - even tho it takes me 3 hrs to get there! The Wye Valley is always a beautiful place at this time of years, full of Bluebells and babies every where. I must be getting old as I appreciate the views a little bit more!!!!
Monnington was the usual busy place and shouts of Hellos came from every where! This years trainers were Lyle & Colleen Wick. The indoor school was packed as usual, with people outside peeking thru the doors.
Barb, as per normal, was in the Butt House making her soup and preparing lunch. She is def the hostess with the mostest when it comes to her lunches, very yummy.
Lessons finished and John had opened the doors to us all at 'The Big House'. He had prepared an evening of slide shows for us all, depicting when the first Morgans arrived in the UK, which was absolutely brilliant. Hot Dogs and Popcorn was also given to everybody. We had to give his home back at some point and we all piled into the Butt House for Karaoke and drinks. Who needs Britains Got Talent!!!!!!!
I think Scott and I very noisily fell thru Trudy's door at 1 a.m with both of us telling each other to shush!! No need - Trudy was up... we were just in time to watch Angela do her Championship class at UPHA being live streamed!! I tentatively say I swopped allegiances as my friend, Daisy Beisler was also in the class. Angela had a great ride coming 5th, and Daisy won The Championship. It was great to be able to watch them ride live.
There were a few sore heads on the Sunday!!! People were walking around, a little delicately shall we say!!! My lesson soon came around, and I was on Sonic. I love this dear old boy, but by the time both he and Colleen had finished with me, when I got off, I almost fell in a heap - I had no legs!!!

The Easter ride up the Walk was wonderful. Scottie got to ride his first ride on a Morgan - no other than Monnington Unique. I think hes a convert and she def has a new friend!! Every body had some of Johns Home Brew and Hot X Buns!
I got to ride my dear boy Collective Soul back to the yard. I still miss him, but Mels doing a fantastic job with him..... even tho he did get a tad excited on the way back and thought he was an Easter Bunny 'hopping' some of the way home!!!!
An absolute FANTASTIC weekend - cant wait until next year!!
