Wacky Racers Feb Outings

21.02.16 Wacky Racers went off to Wellington Riding 

Alfie decided to roll in the muddiest patch possible in the morning so we couldnt get all the mud out of his mane. 

No worries he had winter hair length so time for a quick haircut and hope no one minds no plaits

He was tight through his back and a little unsettled in his contact using his old saddle. We had some teeth grinding in the tests but as always he tried his heart out in both N24 for the team and P12 for My Quest points

The main arena was fabulous to warm up in and I was really pleased with how Alfie went into the old indoor school and worked well. The old indoor has a spooky open corner where humans can suddenly popped up, luckily no pop ups to contend with in our tests but he still had a gd look over the wall as he went past just in case.

27.02.16 Wacky Racers went off to Checkendon EC

N24 again, not an easy one. Lots of movements to keep the mind busy and lots to concentrate on. 
What a difference a change of saddle makes. 
Much happier Alfie horse today, even if the cheeky monster anticipated his canter trot canter and only just about showed the judge trot steps.


I don't tend to go over to this centre in the winter as the warm up and car park areas are very tight on space. 

Luckily our team tests were on at the end of the day so after the few competitors in front of us were finished we had enough room in the warm up to push on and back through some working and medium exercises 

Second Open section with three riders so no drop score available. Well Done Team 

And now we have new Team Quest Colours from Kelly Equine to show off.
Mumaathel was sparkling his way round N24
