one jumper less

It dawned sunny and bright, still bloody cold at -9 but a day of promise. By this afternoon I was riding in far less than I have done for weeks and it was +9, hope it holds!
Moo was great and we did our in-hand warm up with some massage in motion; he seems very happy to let me get into his tight neck muscles. I managed to do a bit of trot work today as the school had defrosted enough to venture outside of the 20m square I had kept nicely frost free for the last few days. He is really unlocking his neck in the stretches now and I'm getting a really good feeling in the Indian bosal, very positive all round. Leg stretches after riding to round off a good day.
Later this week I'll get back into the work with Chapsi, he's been just ticking over for two weeks as I don't want to blow his brain by pushing too much too soon.

-9! EEEK. i'll stop whinging and hope it doesn't get back to that here. although that's a huge variation within the one day, watch out for more leaks (hope not!)

and ps, you may be right about another move, but i'm not thinking about it yet we're waiting till we get some spring and see what happens..

-9, that must be quite cold over where you live?
Seems like a nice session with Moo.

-9 to +9 is quite a jump!

Glad you are managing to get some work done with your boys, and good work by the sounds of it :)

Totally OT, but just wanted to know about that reader location feed you have on your blog, do you have to pay for that?

Your post about traffic from forums and such the other day got me thinking...

Well luckily we don't get it that cold too often, unlike you HofC!!

No leaks luckily Claire.

Danni, if you click on the very bottom of the feedjit bit in pink (it's quite hard to see but it says 'click to get') it takse you to the feedjit page. Then click on the top line 'widgets' don't be put off the pro stuff, mine is free and there are a couple of choices...including maps etc
