Two Wheels

I recently had a day of mountain bike skills training with Ed Oxley of Great Rock.

A lot of what I had to learn was about fore/aft balance and how, for too long I’ve been leaning too far off the back of the bike. I had to learn to have my weight forward, and shift it back at the right point.

Sound familiar?

It should do.

The impact on my horse-riding has been immediately noticeable.

No longer worried about my position I’m now able to better judge if Monster will be overfaced, and I’m not unbalancing her. This season she is really coming on.

Interlude
A Rare Sane Moment

Sadly, Jad will be eventing no more.

After a last summer out at grass, eating and hanging out with the boys, the time came to say goodbye.

I stayed with him to the last, I felt it was the least I could do having acted as groom for so long.

Remember The Fallen

My husband lent me his piebald to go hunting. I can see why he loves her now.
