We have two new racehorses to train, Ricardo's Choice and Dazzling Rita. They are both horses with alot of ability and no shortage of form.
Cleeve Cloud is hopefully going to run at Cheltenham in the National Hunt Flat Race, over one mile six furlongs. This is presuming he gets in.
Rose de Rita is in great form and needs a run desperately. Hopefully we can find a suitable race for her soon.?!
We are off to Hartpury showjumping tomorrow. It will be the last show until the new year. Quito Z and Pacha are doing the 110cm and 115cm and 105cm and Newcomers respectively.
I have schooled G for the last few days. He has been doing grids and relateds to help him be comfident when approaching combinations.
Pacha did grids that were alittle short in order to make her more snappy with her front feet, she can be a little clumsy with her front feet.

Solihull Riding Club 27th November.
Today I took two horses to Solihull Riding Club showjumping. Pacha did the 105m and Newcomers. She worked very green in the first class. She has not been to Solihull before. The indoor is is quite a starey venue. She had two fences down in both classes, greenness was responsible in the first round and competition fitness or lack of it let her down in the Newcomers. I was none the less very pleased with her. She made some really nice shapes at alot of the fences.
Quito Z, my best jumper won the 115m open. This was only his second outing since having a break. I have really made the most of the new school and jumped him alot. I did alot of related work and combinations. He is a very careful horse who can worry when confronted with alot of poles. By giving him lots to look at it in his training, prepared him for competition.
He worked very well in the ring. I was very focused on riding good lines to the fences whilst having following the plan I had made whilst walking the course. I have to be very careful to have him straight for a fence and present him appropriately for each fence.

The new school is finished and working well. Joanne and Carol were the first people to use the school. The surface is brilliant and has stood up well to being used.

The New School is nearly here!
I am excited to say that the surface to the school arrives next week. I have bought it from Ross Hemming and Leisure Ride.
This time next week Postlip will have it's first training school.
Today I had some physiotherapy from Claire Woodward of Back into Action. It seems as if everything is going to be ready for the launch of the new school.

NEW SCHOOL!
If you haven't already heard the exciting news, the new school started in earnest on the 5th September. You can see by the photo montage that things are all moving along smoothly and quickly.
Tom Hamer is doing the work, ably helped by Chris.
It is going to be a 25m x 50m school. The surface is supplied by Equestrian Direct.
If everything goes well the school should be ready for the beginning of October!
Keep checking back for updates, I'll keep you posted.
