It’s been a busy week at Little Charingworth Stud as the training ramps up with the season fast approaching. Fitness work and schooling is in full swing with the horses and I am back in the swing of dressage lessons with Gareth.
I gave some of the horses a jump last week and I’m back in to the routine of trying to challenge them mentally (and myself) with a range of athletic exercises. I have never felt there is a need to jump big at home, it is more about working on the rideabilty to a fence than the size of the fences.
I’m treasuring not being on the road at the weekends at the moment as it won’t be long until there is less family time and we’ll be away from home. It’s nice to catch up with friends who we don’t get much time to see during the season.
Cheers,
Bill
