Catching up....

Mags and I are trying to catch up on stuff.
We have had a bit of a rough weekend.
Beast was quite good at her first advanced.
I have worked very hard at becoming calm and focused while competing. The good news, I have achieved the goal.
The bad news, it is such a change for Beast xc, I will have to continue to be a bit over driven xc.
Oh and I can't get calm and lazy confused!
Maggie had a wonderful weekend with her cousins. They came to watch with my sister and brother in law on friday and saturday.
We came home saturday.
Our little jack russel has not been doing well. She went into kidney failure two weeks before Fair Hill. I think she hung around to get me through the weekend but on Sunday night, we had to let her go.
Losing a pet is so hard because it's like letting go of a part of your life. I'm going to hang on to Scruffy's little Jack russel tenacity and bring it to every cross country that Beast and I do together.
Ava shined yesterday doing flat work. Summer gave me some fancy trot work and I'm convincing her to give me her back at the canter.
Vanessa will get us all tuned up on Thursday. I want both girls in the 20s at Loudon.
Beasty was quite wild yesterday.(Back to herself!) She got a late entry into Loudon to get established before Jersey Fresh!
This afternoon brings lots of riding and lessons!
