it rained!

which we needed, and it's still very muggy, but i missed what looks like it would have been a soaking as i was in a late meeting in Newcastle....

molly still relatively settled in her stable; a shade concerned when the horse we could see across the yard was led off to be ridden, but not horrendously so, so getting there

i showed her the tall mounting block on the way in; i shall have to do some ground work round that, as well as generally! that'll be fun, it's a tall one i can't just step off, and whilst i can work her round it, it's very tight! but once we're sorted for it, it'll be a lot better for her, her back, me, and the saddle...it's high enough to be able to just put your leg over the horses back

plan is for longlining saturday, subject as always to the weather!

Progress continues, then. Molly it still settling well. That mounting block should be great. I need an even taller one for Tucker myself. I'd like one where I wouldn't have to pull myself into the saddle at all like yours.

How nice that you got some rain. We really need some here in East Anglia. (I hope I don't have to eat my words!)

I'm glad she seems to be settling in well. We were just talking about mounting blocks today, I need a tall one for Remy, I'm using an upturned bin at the moment - not recommended!
