Aston le Walls

The summer has arrived, and with it the firm ground. As usual Nigel & Ann Taylor's hard work meant we had a super course to run round. I had a fun of Intermediates on Thursday with Fish, Monty and Willy all performing reasonable tests, nothing world beating but certainly progressive! Fish and Willy both jumped super rounds for an unlucky rail each, Monty and I took out the first two fences whilst re-establishing our lines of communication and he finished the rest of the course well, and all three boys did super dooper clear rounds cross country. Fish is way more settled and Willy far more on my wavelength now, and Monty was incredibly brave and straightforward to ride in this phase. I took Luke to do the dressage and show jumping in preparation for Chatsworth which was very worthhile, he scored an excellent 30 and jumped a fab clear SJ...can't wait for the 3* at the weekend now!
