I've been several times over the years and rate Pat very highly as an trainer  Also Hilders is a great venue and lovely Indoor School... perfect for getting them ready for the Spring Shows
I wanted to go to the first one but Shesky has decided he needs an extended holiday and so gave his Annular Ligament a whack! Will deifnately be there later in the year though.
Each time it is different as it depends on the group, but you can expect Pat to be honest with you and what you need to work on... sometimes she also has a trainee judge with her to ride the horses which I love as I don't have anyone else really to hop on Shesky at home!
Everyone is soo friendly - you will have a great time - I will probably go and watch as I find I learn as much watching as riding sometimes |

| Thanks Pasha, Pat judged at a show I was at early this year and her feedback was invaluable. I'm thinking of taking the one I dont really show yet, have taken him out once or twice but we're not very confident and he doesnt always like to leave the line up, so this would be good practice although I dont want to disrupt other people having a lesson? I'll give them a call and see what they say! |

| That's what the clinics are for! There is a nice group of babies I normally join as even though we are more mature in years, we are scared of the other horses in the go round - ask to go in a group like this and tell Pat what you want to work on and it shall be done |

| Let me know when you're going and I will come and watch (or bring Shesky if he's better)... think I saw you at Hickstead in the horsebox park talking to Sazzle - I was going for my frist warm-up on Shesk, but would be nice to say hi properly x |

Yes me! Was meant to be going on the 28th with the big Fluff, but boyf has gone and booked me a birthday surprise! How dare he! Not so surprise anymore though as he had to tell me obviously so that I could cancel it.
Might be there on Shesky (if vet gives me good news tomorrow) or might be the big Fluff or both if they're lucky |

I'm gonna try and get to the 12th of December one, although my horse has not been ridden since my dressage lesson on the 2nd of October 
So I'm gonna try and ride him a bit before maybe take him out to a hired school and see how mad he is before I book it haha

They're pretty sensible and will cancel or change dates if needs be... I hope we don't still have weather like this by then or I will go crazy!
He he you have never seen a fluff as big as this.... she is a huge Belgium WB and making a great job as an honoury Arab whilst Shesky is recovering... have told her owner i'm not giving her back when Shesky is back up and running... wonder is 17hh could pass off as an Arab... she is the right colour he he |

| No, but I doubt they'll make a decision until a day or so before as things can change so suddenly! We are due temps to rise in the SE by the weekend so might all be fine for Sunday or we may be frozen in... normally Marian sends the times out on the Thursday/Friday |

Here is the 5-day forecast for Edenbridge... positively balmy 4 degrees on Friday which should melt the remaining ice hopefully and shouldn't drop below freezing overnight Fri/Sat so should be ok... my only worry is our yard drive (Hilders should be fine) - it's long and windy and thick ice at the moment

good luck girls, i cant ride at all its just either frozen solid(schools) or the roads are too icy and dangerous!
i am going to leave this till New Year now , he is on week2 of rest so I may as well resign myself to the fact its his holiday now... he deserves a little break but its just a little earlier this yr!
i do hope this goes ahead let me know how you get on if you go xx |
