I know it is already the middle of the week, but I have been so busy I haven't had the time to blog about my weekend. This weekend I was a groom for my sister, and I thought it would be a good post. So here it is.
Yes I was my little sis (she's 18) groom for the day. We have horses and this weekend and basically every weekend my sister is out competing. I try to go to most of them, which my sister loves as that means she has her personal groom (me) and a driver (my dad - he drives the horse box) so her own personal team. My mum tries to come too but other things need to be done at the weekend also.

| This is Dinky |
It was an early start for us Saturday, but weather was on our side. It was a beautiful sunny morning, a lovely day to be out with the horses. So we got everything together, loaded Dinky and off we went.
Once we got there, the sun was shinning and it was time to sus this place out. We or anyone we know haven't been to this place before to compete, have lessons or anything else, this was a new one for us.
Of course one of the most important parts of being out with the horses competing is the burger van or restaurant which is there. As we set off in the early morning (7.30am - most of the time this is the case) the smell of bacon butties is heaven. Thankfully this was perfect - Hit the spot.
Unfortuantly the actaul reason for going to show jump was a little dissapointing. The arena wasn't exactly the best standard to jump in nor was the actaul course and the layout. But we were there now so might as well jump.
The rounds they did they went clear which was good, so a good result out of not such a good situation. But finding new places there are always a few not so good ones to be noted not to go back, and if you don't go you don't know what there is.
After our rounds we treated ourselfs with hot chocloate and got Dinky some polos, and loaded everything up and on our way home.
And look who was waiting for us, and wanting to help with the clean up.
