4th December - Updates from Southdale -

Since our last competition i've been really really busy with school work, applying for university for next september, choosing courses and meeting work deadlines, it's been hectic alongside riding and caring for Jayde.

Jayde and Molly are both well as is leona, i'm just on the end of a nasty throat infection which caused me to spend a week away from college and a week away from Southdale, i'm keener than ever to get back to the stables and have been back at college for a day so far and am madly trying to keep up because i want the best grades i can get so i can go to my chosen uni to do an english and education teaching degree, whilst i am there i also hope to join equestrian societies, however riding other horses without jayde will be strange im sure it will be a good experience for me.

We currently have no competitions planned until trailblazers show jumping Jan 9th providing all is well when i'll hopefully jump the 85cm/95cm or 95cm/105cm classes, up until then i'm going to be working hard to get ready for my january examinations.

I recently got a comment from America asking about my type of riding, currently i do not compete 3 day eventing as there are many disciplines in England as im sure there are in America however i compete in more than one type of discipline to keep myself occupied and my options open however i am pretty sure that sooner or later i will specialise in 3 day eventing as the one day events i have participated in have been great fun and i love dressage, cross country and showjumping until then i will continue to compete separately, i hope this answers your question, thank you.

I'll probably update you very soon, so stick with me during this busy time.
