Today Jasper has been a star! After a lethargic start Jude jumped on for 5 minutes and we then had an awesome lesson. Much improved with his medium work and rein back. Although he does reins back well in harness he has suddenly decided he doesn't know what rein back is under saddle, which is odd as that is where he orginally learnt to rein back. Very pleased with him. Spent the rest of the day getting ready for our competion tomorrow. Thank you to my sister Kiera for cleaning my carriage in e...

I can hardly believe my first term at uni is over! I have enjoyed it so much but I am definitely ready to come home to recharge my batteries. My holidays look set to be busy as usual with competitions and work to do to as well as the usual commitments of family and uni work.
In truth right now I am very tired and just looking forward to a nice lie in as well as to driving Jasper.

Still its pretty hard being the only person with no offers and knowing you will be the only one of your friends left behind. Haven't decided if I will reaply or not yet so will just have to see and try to concentrate on Keysoe instead.

Results day is a word that strikes fear into the heart of teenangers everywhere. It is the day where you can no longer hide from anyone, including yourself that you did not work hard enough and you will have to man up and face it.

So walking into the hall and opening THAT envelope for my A2 January modules is a bit of an unusual e...
