Hello F'list! I am still alive ;) I have been... well not even that busy and I keep (as ever) MEANING to post but never quite getting to it.
However I have finally done something exciting to post about - gone to pony camp!!
Except pony camp was a lot of hard work and riding and horse stuff and drinking wine later and I am too sleepy to post coherently. So instead, pictures!

ziggy in her new quarters

Extension!

Jumping baaaby jumps (it still FEELS big)

Note jumps were small but we were going Fast. There was no breeze, that is all Impulsion!
(also the jumps DID get bigger, but they were taking photos elsewhere by then)

Are we Small, or Far Away?

Me and the lovely judith (who did all the driving to get us there) about to go for our final lesson. Horses not impressed with this plan.

Tired (and probably fed up with all this working) horses looking for an escape route

Necarne is a very very beautiful place

Will try to post more comprehensive post tomorrow, when I may have Moar Brane (aslo I want to record a lot of what we did and the technical parts we were taught before i forget it all).

In summary, pony camp = AWESOME.

oooh NICE!

Impulsion

sounds like a perfuuuuuume. (possibly a rather horsey one?)

p.s. yay not dead, and also OOH JUMPING STUFF.

jumping stuff FAST! We did jump bigger stuff too, that was just the Getting The Right Canter and Generating Impulsion part ;p

(which was bloody hard on a baking hot day, the smell around us would not have been Perfume ;p)

(now now. am sure you sweat ATTAR OF ROSES as s.g. would say. and still smell better than GARLIC GREASED THIPE.)

hmmm garlicy buttery thipe...

don't even try for sympathy! you are a soulless minion of buttery evil and you know it!

Can I put that on my cv?

indeed. i can write you a reference too!

Hello

I wish to acquire a reference for one Sir Thipely Thipington Esq.

Could you please provide?

Yrs

B.Here

she does not. This has been conclusively proven.

I smell of Attar of Roses.

She smells of Gone Off Front Bottom.

Welcome back.

I do so hope that Pony Camp only cost 25 quid.

Looks like you had fun there.

Alas it cost considerably more ;p but we did get 3 days there and lots of lessons and Talks and tasty food etc. Also, a great deal of fun!

(no elephants tho ;p)

Ooooh, Elephant Gymkhana - now that's one I'd watch

Icon love!

Ah thank you - just a little something I knocked up a while ago...*cough* as it were

(ooh, iconlove)

Ah yes, it's one I "liberated" of a Deadwood group a wee while ago.

Awwww. Ziggy's so cute!

Looks fabulous! Was it just the two of you at Pony Camp?
