Just an excuse to show off some photos :)

Hi everyone! Hope you're good! Emmie and I are doing great and I'm really excited to kick start our season next week.

Getting excited to start my season!

Hi all! I've not posted recently, mostly due to not getting up to anything interesting, but I'll do a quick overview of what we've been doing in the past month while getting ready to start eventing!

Product Review - Sprenger Novocontact Bit

I have been trialling the Sprenger double jointed Novocontact Eggbutt bit for the last month from The Horse Bit Shop, and thought I'd write up a quick review. When I was deciding whether to try this bit or not, I found it quite frustrating that I couldn't find much feedback on it, or even particularly good pictures of the shape of the mouthpiece. Hopefully this will help some others! 

We are ulcer free!

So I have some fantastic news to report today  - Emmie went for a re-scope last week and they couldn't find a single ulcer! Everyone was very shocked, especially as just four weeks ago she had gained a new ulcer and was getting worse, not better!

Our first BD outing!

Hello everyone!

We went out to our first BD outing last week, at Hill House Equestrian Centre in Lincolnshire. It was my first time competing there, and I thought it was an excellent facility  - we will definitely be going back! The weather was awful all day, but they have indoors in such plentiful supply that the warm up and tests were both inside - thank goodness!

Turning to the dark side of dressage... or maybe not!

I decided to enter Emmie for a bit of dressage this week, and the day loomed up so quickly. I was 90% sure I knew the tests, which is always a good start.

A few backward steps for Emmie

So Emmie went for her re-scope for her ulcers last week, and unfortunately the results were not quite what we had hoped!
