New Season

It's been a while, but mainly because it's been a while since I was out.

Monster was put out to grass for summer to rough off, and when ambles started I was too busy at work use them to get her fit. For the last month she's been out on walks with me and my wife has been schooling (ha!) and lungeing her. As way of saying thank you on Saturday I lent monster out to my wife and followed on foot. As you can see from the photo the weather wasn't too great as I variously ran, sat on the Hunt quad and stole lifts off of the other followers.

I wasn't sure as we saw the field if I was ever going to get Monster back. My wife bore a grin so wide the top of her head had nearly come off and she was telling me how good she was. Apparently one of the field had told her "You'll be OK, she's a good little jumper". As well as needing bigger breeches to cope with the weight I've put on not going out hunting I'm going to need a bigger hat to get my swollen head into.
