Busy day despite having the lurgy š¤§
Arnie, June, Maddie and Billy(2nd one for him and Arnie this winter) had a clip. Itās always amazing how they re so trusting and June being a baby was lead example of that, she was amazing and stood so well for possibly her first, soon to be many hair cuts. The oldies were just as good but I forgot an after picture of Billy but he looked lush especially in his new Sunshine Tour rug that he won back in September at Hickstead. Photos tomorrow as I forgot today he does come in white too šhis makes sure heās also available in brown too š„“

Wasnāt such an eventful night tonight after Tuesdays down pour, chip was fishing for his carrots while being untacked and though Wendy DuRose didnāt know exactly what happened, my guess is he caught his reins round the water tub flipped it in the air when he lifted his head and sent a very large bucket of water literally flying š„“!!! Great riding tonight though over raised trotting poles for every one and no stirrups for my younger beginners. Good seat is key to good riding āŗļø

First sets of many blades this winter are back from being sharpened(one set got broken in transit first time for me not packing them well enough expensive mistake at nearly Ā£50 a set š„“)
Some of the horses and ponies get clipped every 3/5 weeks so lots to do to keep them cool and healthy in their rides.
Thank you Anglia Clipper Services for a top job as always and for my two new shinny sets š„° sent on Friday back today.

Well thatās was a Monday and a half! 24 horse mucked out(2 new staff on trialš¤) vet for jabs, check ups after inspection and some routine work booked for 4 hours but smashed it out in 2 hrs 10 go Henry -suffolkvets
Holiday residents Yogi and boo had their teeth done and a hair cut.
Load of hay(gold dust) collected. Then evening stables. Glad itās only Mondayš®āšØ
Did you know every horse by law has to have a microchip and passport. We record all the vaccinations in them, mostly annually some like Billy who is out competing have them every 6mths due to some competitions and racing requiring a more frequent vaccination, not having the correct compliance you wouldnāt be allowed to compete.

Well done to all our competitors today a windy start but you all rode amazingly as always. Super proud of you all š„³
