Rosie Fry Update – heading to Badminton

And just like that Badminton week is here! I am writing this whilst in the lorry on the way to Angela Tucker’s for some last minute dressage prep. We will stay up with her tonight (Monday) and then head on to Badminton from hers on Tuesday. She is handily right on the doorstep! It will be good to have a couple of run throughs of the test with her and do any last minute adjustments we need to. I have been riding through the test as much as possible on my other horses at home too just so I really got it engrained in my mind..

The last few weeks have, thankfully, been pretty smooth sailing for Balou and we have tried to keep his routine much the same. He has been going out in the field as much as possible which is something he loves with his girlfriend, Aunt Augusta. It would be so easy to wrap him up in cotton wool but they still need to be horses at the end of the day and you want them arriving at the competition in a good place mentally.
