Not so busy week and a hopeful new addition

Well its still a busy week for me but not so much for Squirrel.

We ditched the SJ on Tuesday to go look at a horse in Suffolk (180 miles away...)

He is a 3/4 Thoroughbred, by Painter's Row, and his dam Sire is Nordic Brave. They have both bred lots of eventers, including several at 4* abroad, and an 8 year old who came 4th in the 7 year old championships last year who had recently done his first advanced.

His name is Street Artist or Alfie, lovely temperment - currently wants to chew everything -, lovely floaty movement and despite being 2 inches bum high, very uphill! 3 years old and STUNNING.

He is being vetted next Thursday and all being well, he will be my future eventer! Very exciting.

I'm off for a lesson this afternoon with Squirrel and rerouting my SJ intentions to next Tuesday instead, as prep for Nunney on the 15th! (if we have some rain..)


And a picture of the (hopefully) new boy!
