We had a family trip first competing at Ingliston Equestrian Centre for the weekend then headed over to Blair Castle.
We were so lucky to have fabulous weather and situated in most beautiful countryside.
Rollo jumped her little socks off, qualifying for both the Newcomers and Foxhunter class championships on the last day.
Miss Rollo jumping the amatures in Portgual in the 110 and 120 classes. Finishing in 8th place overall in the tour. 
Miss Rolo is loving her job, with wins in Discovery and 110 classes she is on top form, her flat work is really starting to pay off with her much improved canter rhythm making the jumping look easy.
They have been competing at REC, Dean Valley and Boldheath and bringing rosette home every time.
Here is rolo winning the 110 at Dean Valley
Well like jumping Miss Rolo has had rather an up and down few weeks. After acting a bit strange we called the vet and physio thinking she has a trapped a nerve but only to find she wasn’t very well at all and had a very low heart beat in resting of 22 which should be 36-40!! following a rather dire weekend of worrying the vet returned on Monday to say she was back up to 32 and had a triple beat as found in very fit horses. The blood results showed she had potassium in her blood and also she has had a virus. So we put her heart rate down to the electrolytes and got her some red cell to build her bloods back up. So our painful lesson was to always mix electrolytes into water and do not put into feeds as you don’t always now if your horses are drinking enough when they have automatic waters.
After 2 weeks rest and lots of TLC Miss Rolo is back fighting fit and flying high over newcomers, Competing at Area 14a in Discovery and Newcomers but it was a 4 fault day!
Competing at Richmond Events this time getting double clears in both classes 29 jumps never touching a pole. She was a true star
Area 14a Newcomers
Faye and Miss Rolo are getting quiet a name for themselves being in the line up on both days of the show.
Now having jumped out of British Novice its straight into discovery . There was plenty to look at with lots of banners and flags but Miss Rolo never blinked inside the ring and did her job very well.
It was a shame they just got one down in the jump off section of the 2 phase but tried hard to go for the win.
Nothing was lost as they still came third which qualified them for Scope how exciting.
here is the discovery round, I apologies for the videoing but Harriet aged 8 tried her best, warning it has a similar effect to motion sickness.
It managed to keep dry while Miss Rolo and Faye enjoyed their workout in their flat work lesson with Melanie Turner.
As always Mel puts them through their paces with more discipline and sharper movements, Leg yielding aiming for that bigger step through that Miss Rolo just is not to keen on doing, after a little gentle persuasion and showing a little temper Rolo found her stride she can do it she just prefers not to!
It makes good home work.
There’s nothing better than winning on home ground and it was a well deserved win beating the second place by 7 seconds
She was fab!
see video of jump of below
The discovery class was a nice round but unfortunately got one down
Faye and Miss Rolo headed off to a rainy very stormy Church Farm yesterday, saddly they got one down in the British Novice (which they blamed on the wind) but then come first in the discovery,how fantastic second show of the season to have a second win.
Lakeland Stud brings home the red rossettes. Miss Rolo showed how happy she was to be back competeting on Saturday at Myerscough as she romped into first place out of a field of 34 with 16 going through to the jump off. Miss Rolo was a well deserved winner as she answered every question Faye asked of her with tight turn backs and a careful jump.
Here is the girl showing off her ribbons
See the jump off that got the red ribbon
Miss Rollo has been having a fab time enjoying the sunshine … after all we have to take it while we can!
