Quick post. I've been really busy and hardly seeing Niels because of university. I've got a couple of months left, then I'm home and job hunting.

Niels is being treated at the moment for a few sarcoids, luckily not in places that would be bothered by a saddle. The vet has reccommended that we ride him to keep him sane and healthy, so that's what we shall be doing!

Booked in for the Haflinger Show and he's going to be staying for a couple of nights there. I'm entering *deep breath*
Open Prelim Dressage
Open Novice Dressage and thinking about entering the Restricted Elementary...
The Novice Ridden Stallions/Geldings–21yrs & under
Intermediate Show Jumping (not to exceed 2'6")
The Accumulator Jumping class.

That's just what I'm entering though... My Brother's doing:
Restricted Prelim Dressage
Novice show jumping (not to exceed 2'3").

My Mum's doing Restricted Novice Dressage and her and my brother are entering the Family Pony class (one rider over 25 years, and the other between 14 and 18)

Then my Dad's doing two in hand classes. :S The novice handler and then the senior geldings.

I started practicing in hand with Niels over the weekend, he's not the easiest to control from the ground. He trots up so lovely though I'll try and get it on camera next time I'm home.

Can't wait to get back in the saddle!
