New Chick on the Block

Who is this fine filly......??
Only arriving on Saturday morning Lexie soon introduced Bounty to life on the Yard with a lesson on Saturday and Sunday.
There seems to be a lot of pink and purple so having a boy first this is a little of a shock.

Fancy ribbons all round!

WSC dressage tonight and not one but two fancy ribbons for Wellie liveries!!

I can be found grinning from ear to ear with a 2nd place rosette, but Lucinda is grinning even more with a 1st place! Woohoo!

Well done Lindo and Geoffrey - you are superstars!

The wedding of the year!

We had a wonderful day last week - the sun was shining and champagne flowing! More photos at: http://wedding.nationalphotographer.co.uk/GALLERIES/ch30107/ChappelE1/index.html.

The return of Mrs B!

She's back and Wellington Country Park very kindly put on fireworks in her honour!

Pride comes before ...

There was I thinking I was just getting this jumping lark sorted again so signed up for Mandy's clinic today . Huggy soon put me to rights and there were two unplanned dismounts during the day .

As it was the end of a JC week there was photograhper present and I am the proud owner of a terrific action shot of us parting company which I couldn't resist sharing with you all .

Bit sore this evening but otherwise fine and due to ride Huggy again ( in a flat lesson ) tomorrow.

May I introduce.....

Mr and Mrs Chappell (or is it Chappell-Simms - have you decided yet Ruthie?!)

It was a beautiful autumn day in the Forest of Dean for the wedding of Brian and Ruth, and an enjoyable day had by all who attended (although I think there would have been some with sore heads this morning!)

Congratulations Brian and Ruth!

We are not worthy!

Flicking through the results section of Horse and Hound this evening I was delighted to see under Advanced Medium Dressage 83 - 3rd Sahara Firefly (C Merritt).


Well done Caroline and Fly!
