What is going on with this weather we have been having of late? The poor horses are getting their Winter coats through one minute, the next they are shedding out again as its far too hot. Ive held off with rugs, but given this week ends weather of torrential rain and winds - I succumbed!!!! Been a busy few weeks, paddocks being sorted out and refenced ready for Winter. Watching Morgan Grand National WC's, working and and....and!!!! We had some sad news - No puppies. Ripley had absorbed her pups, which I was so upset about. Mother Nature decided it just wasnt her time to be a Mummy just yet, so we will have another go with her in the Spring time. On the flip side, I had some wonderful news from the British Morgan Horse Society - I have won a Driving Scholarship at Monnington, our Foundation Farm in Herefordshire. Im so excited about being at the peril of Trudy Conolly, if not a little scared!!!!!!! She, herself, is a fantastic horsewoman when it comes to training horses under harness and Im sure I will learn so much from her. I would like to Thank Jill&Jon Gosling for choosing me for this wonderful opportunity.
