In view of the very sad news about poor Ijaaz, I thought I would post a positive message about Endurance. I am very proud of Lily (Zahkira) who achieved her first 80km graded ride at Keysoe 10 days ago, she was such a good girl, not least because we rode the last 20km alone, having unfortunately lost our lovely riding partners after 60km due to rider illness. At the final vetting she trotted up beautifully, head up, ears *****ed and a floating stride (I know this because I was very kindly offered a runner to trot her up by the vet, since I obviously wasn't as fresh as Lily was!). I was so proud.

Thank you, sorry I don't seem to be able to upload photos very tidily these days - flickr defeats me! But come on folks - lets see your successes from this season! |

| Thank you to the kind person who tidied my photos up , and for your kind comments. Lily has a super power - she always photographs bright white, even when she is a bit grubby (although obviously I did clean her before the ride!). I hope you and Milly have a great year in 2016 SuziQ. |

Lovely pics. Hope to do a bit of endurance with my boy one day. He's six now and has spent all summer going through the 'I'd rather not do that!' stage. Hope next year he might be in a 'Come on mum, let's do that' phase. All he thinks he should do at the moment is cuddle.  |

This thread is a ray of sunshine especially "laughed lots". We laugh and joke when out hacking, usually it's me that gets applause and awarded points for sitting whatever athletic move Ari has performed to avoid a suspect leaf. Daughter and pal are great at bringing French & Saunders Peter Pan and Jigsaw sketch to life.
After so much bad news it's heartwarming to see happy horses being enjoyed. |

We usually start laughing at silly o clock as we load our trusty team up for the road trip, and continue with the hysteria for the rest of the day! We're affectionately known as Team Nutjob by a few fellow Endurance loonies
What a lovely thread (sorry to hijack Linda!) But itsxa breath of fresh air seeing you and your beautiful girlie |
