Last weekend in November 08

A stormy changeable weekend in Sydney.
We are busily riding horses and attending Canadian Jody Sloper's clinic at Clarendon, home of Sydney Jump Club.
Liz is riding in the clinic and I am the video and note taker.
My horses are not ready, they are working at home.
A blood test Monday will tell me if I am able to start my two Grand Prix horses at the upcoming shows.
It is unusual for both to be out of action at the same time.
Colleen.

No Equitana

Hello,
Well we are not going to Equitana,Secrets needs some time off, not too long I hope.
My vet did a routine blood test and found he was very anaemic. And yes Secrets did seem a bit quieter than normal when we arrived home.
Some VitaminB and iron suppplements for 10 days.
Poet has been sick with a virus and isn't quite right yet.
I am looking forward to seeing them both wanting to run around their paddocks.
Anecdotally since EI there have been more than usual low blood counts!
Hopefully they will be firing in a week or two,we have a couple of shows left for the year.

shows

Hello,
We have just been to Victoria to two World Cup shows and we will return this week for another two .
Equitana is a great event. It is where you see all the latest in Equestrian items and education.
It is hard to keep your hands in your pockets, with so many beautiful objects to buy.
I look forward to cruising around fo a day or two.
