Has to go to my Pioneros Polo Belt!!
Not only is it stylish but it's extremely practical. It also allows me to have a bit of uniqueness in competition which can often be limiting for the rider.

Through my experience they’re good quality belts and I’m not sure how I coped before getting mine as it always seems to be a piece of kit I need before leaving the yard for a competition.

And there available at http://www.thehorsewardrobe.co.uk/pioneros-polo-belt-2954-p.asp 

It has to be a must for any rider whether you wear yours down the yard, on a night out away from the horses, in the show jumping ring or  you could even match it to your XC colour’s to create the ultimate Colour Coordination dedication!!!!

and the last note this week has to be that my entry to Eden has been accepted and we have been placed in the last section of the day

Took H XC schooling for only his 3rd ever time seeing  the scary XC fences so I was expecting a very green horse.

And one very green horse came out the box snorting at the scary lorries that were parked close by. However,I jumped on and he totally transformed into a confident Event Horse Prospect – who knew?!?!

Not one spook, stop or run out all day. Jumped everything 1st time even when one of us got it wrong! Walked straight into the water and he thought nothing of the ditches etc

Still not sure about really stretching in his gallop but thats a minor thing that will come with confidence but I really enjoyed riding him today and I think he did!

Sadly I am extreamly rusty in all the videos so think its time I get some lessons in to improve my position (might help if I put my stirrups up too)

So follow the links to view:

Any way jumping 2 in a row

Back to 2 (although H wasn’t too sure about that dodgy looking guy with a camera ;) )

He actually went faster into the trakena! Crazy horse!

Weeeee!!!! And a slight loss of control when turning ;)

He just doesn’t run out bless him!

The scariest fence for H so needed a little extra leg

And last but not least the jump that made me super proud!

Despite my lack of commitment (I think I sold myself that he was going to run out before we even got to the fence) so slap on the wrist to me for going so slow but what a clever pony to do it 1st time with no flags/ poles

So Eden here we come!!!

And the second best discovery of the day was......... how amazing my new Tuffa Socks are from http://www.thehorsewardrobe.co.uk/tuffa-long-riding-socks-10598-p.asp
They kept my feet nice and wam and dry on a very warm spring afternoon..... if only Tuffa did

My first weekend off in a month starts today- Yippieee!!!!!
Only problem once again is the weather as I'm rather sure I didn't order snow. So not exactly sure what our plans will be but fingers crossed we'll both get out either to a show jumping competition on Sunday or a lesson before Wednesday.
On the positive our entry has been made for Eden Horse Trials in the BE80T so hopefully we'll be accepted and have a lovely day. The Horse Wardrobe have also sent a few taster items to be tested including some TUFFA RIDING SOCKS which i am really excited about testing in this cold weather. Plus their new seasonal stock is being updated so keep checking the site as things don't stay in
