I thought I wasn't going to manage it, combination of wet weather through part of December and just being busy. But Christmas Eve dawned dry and even partly sunny and I decided to give myself a pre-xmas treat and take some time out to attempt a competition entry. Fat Pony was up for it, "where have you been?", he said, "I've missed our playtimes"..... Which is good, because we had 2 slightly different courses to complete - our first ever attempt at an Advanced Level course online, plus the Liberty Silver course. Both courses had new challenges for us and things we hadn't had chance to practice but it was great fun and Fat Pony thought so too :-D He had his own ideas about which obstacles we should be completing next, which will have lost us points, but he was so enthusiastic and willing and we just had fun. With the sun shining, who could ask for a better treat for Xmas?! :-D
The Xmas Course for the International Horse Agility Club always ends early - at midnight on the 24th December, in fact! That's a real shame, because then trying to get an entry in becomes part of the pre-xmas rush, rather than something fun to do with Xmas days off.

About meI started Horse Agility as a way of making groundwork more fun. It was something I could do with my semi-retired old boy and his small, cheeky, pony companion. What amazed me was how much it improved the ponies' general confidence in the process. I compete at Advanced 1 star level on line and at liberty. Archives
