well there has been no riding today, unfortunately :( but on Saturday that will change, however I have done horse related things because I have bought a new pair of Jodhpurs originally the plan was to get a pair of black ones but i thought i might as well get a pair of brown jodhpurs because i bought two brown hoodies so my thoughts were that  it would match! Hope that you all liked the pictures yesterday, I have decided that from today on, when ever I post i am going to post a picture (on my new page) that I have taken that i really like to see what you guys think, seen as I need to start building up a collection of my best pictures in preparation for the Derby uni interview that I have to have at some point! These pictures will have there own separate page and can be found here!!!! So make sure to check it out and keep an eye on it! Enjoy the pictures Love A Girl With A Dream!

So yesterday was Derbyshire County Show which I was just watching, not competing in, yet anyway! Hopefully when I have my own horse I will be, but that is a story for another time, right now its this years county fair that we should be talking about. So we left at 8:30 in the morning to get there for roughly 9:00, I was supposed to be going with my mum, sister, nephew and her boyfriend, but they didnt go and I'm glad because I had a good time with my mum even though it was cold, windy and wet!

He was once again perfect and helped me over some of the jumps and turns that I was not quite sure about. We then did some work over one pole and after this changed the pole in to a cross jump and went over that several times, just to warm the horses up and have a feel for what each horses jump was like!  After this we started doing work on a course, there was 8 jumps in total all of which were cross poles and we did work going over, several of the jumps individually. We then walked the course so that we knew where each jump was, and in what order/how we needed to approach each jump.
