Horse Camp

I have just got back from Horse camp at Somerford Park! I have loved every minute of it and learnt so much in from the 3 days that I was there! We had a flatwork lesson, in which we did a lot of work softening and getting them supple by using outside flexion on a circle whilst keeping the rhythm. Cedric was a bit of a monkey to start and was dancing on two legs but he soon settled and worked really well! Next up was jumping, we started with pole work and then moved on to slowly piecing a course together. We did up to about 75cm with some fillers and spreads and he didn’t put a foot wrong! It was fab!! The final lesson was on the cross country, neither me or Ced have ever done xc so I was nervous but excited!! Cedric was a star and jumped everything that I asked of him and we even managed to get him in the water!! This was a massive achievement as Ced doesn’t even like to walk through a puddle😂 On the last day we did the farm ride and just had a play in the water again! Cedric didn’t put a foot wrong the whole time we were there! His first time staying away and he took it all in his stride! None of us wanted to leave, if only we could be rich and not have to work! 😆🐴
