I have very optimistically planned so much fun stuff for the off-season. I would really like to compete in the Endurance GB Winter league, where you get points for your extra-curricular activities, but the likelihood of me remembering my form to be signed by the instructor for jump clinics, or to take to a training ride, or for a secretary to sign at a dressage competition is nill. I wonder if anyone else is put off by the actual form and whether there could be a digitalised way of getting the signatures or proving that you have attended? Anyway, I'm going to try and remember but I just know that it's unlikely.
Estrid's back appears to still be ok after 3 weeks of training, there are a couple of bumps with dry skin, about the size of the ball on the end of a pin but there's no soreness and they seem to be reducing so we shall continue to monitor and carry on with our training schedule for the time being.
She has come back into training full of enthusiasm which is very encouraging but we have regressed in our travel and venue calmness. She's back to being sweaty and shaky on our first trip out in the trailer since August. Understandable, and less extreme than at the start of the year, so I'm confident we will soon conquer the venue anxiety ready for the 2024 season.
Most importantly we're both enjoying being back in the saddle. I have even had an impromptu jumping lesson (which I didn't film), because someone else at the yard dropped out of the clinic, and it was the most fun. Even though she had only been back in work 3 weeks, she's never even been ridden over poles in an arena and certainly never been over a showjump, the instructor set it to her level and she tried her little heart out without a bead of sweat on her.
Thanks for watching,
Beth
