Osberton Estate pleasure ride

Really sorry you missed it NL, but sounds as though there are plenty of positives to take from your day anyway. Glad Skye and Ollie enjoyed it too. I didn't see them, but then I was looking for a Highland and a lady in pink! Did they tell you how busy it was? Absolutely manic, I don't think the organisers expected so many - the lady who was trying to direct people to parking seemed rather stressed. They must have raised plenty of funds for the pony club anyway.

Our day didn't go according to plan as some other friends' plans got cancelled so we ended up having a group outing from the yard - there were 5 of us altogether and we had a great time. One of the riders is an eventer and she found some nice practice jumps, she was also very good at coaching the less able amongst us (ie me) over some little jumps into water etc, which was great.

Raf seemed fine when we got back, but by tea-time he was shaking and didn't eat all his tea, although is temperature is normal and he's tucking into his hay. I've put an extra rug on and I'm going back over as soon as Mr Tesco has been, to check on him.

I am gutted I missed it ... Skye and chelly told me how busy it was... they had a lovely day and even had a go in the water jump Skye was very impressed with Ollie, and cannot wait for there next go.

Hope Raf is ok :) Healing vibes for him :)
