Up early because of the time difference; Tea and toast were taken back to bed and the Melbourne Grand Prix was (mostly) watched.<\/p>\n
Dozeage may have occurred.<\/p>\n
Ablutions and a second breakfast were satisfactorily completed, a trip to Gatcombe Horse Trials followed.<\/p>\n
Hot chocolate was partaken, a brisk walk around the mile-and-a-quarter Intermediate cross-country course followed.<\/p>\n
A fried egg bap with lashings of brown sauce may have occurred.<\/p>\n
Another hot chocolate and a chocolate fudge brownie vanished from one of the trade stands.<\/p>\n
Show-jumping was watched from the ring-side seat of the car.<\/p>\n
Satisfied, slightly tired and a little drowsy we headed home where I changed and made for the yard.<\/p>\n
Tom was quickly groomed, tacked up and heading up the track where we rode the gallops twice.<\/p>\n
While Tom cooled off I had a brief chat with Sammi to plan our erm, plan of action (cross-country tomorrow, schooling Tuesday and Wednesday, show-jumping at Cooksons on Thursday, schooling Friday and Saturday, show-jumping at Allenshill on Sunday, cross-country on Monday).<\/p>\n
Groomed Tom, rugged him up and let him have tea.<\/p>\n
Home.<\/p>\n
The evening stretches before us with perhaps a film or a couple of episodes of Buffy and a bite to eat on the menu.<\/p>\n
Brilliant.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
