Loving Autumn

Don't you just love the Fox Hill property sign

What a Fun Day

Stop smiling at the camera & sit up girl!

And what a Fun Day it was!

Izzy went to the last Shibumi Fun Day on Sunday the 6th May, the weather was perfect, 

the day ran smoothly, thanks to the staff and I'm guessing lots of volunteers 

at Shibumi Equestrian Centre.

We've recently had the opportunity to start riding with Anna Groom, who recently moved 

to the Southern Highlands.  I was actually at school with Anna and when she called to 

say that Izzy could ride one of her mares, naturally I was over the moon!

What a gift for a 10yr old girl to have the opportunity to ride 

a beautifully trained Warmblood mare. 

Pitchie, is gorgeous and both Izzy and I are in love.....

Anna felt that it would be good experience for Izzy to take Pitchie out and 

the Shibumi Fun Day was the perfect first outing.  The day was really well organised, with the

draw being emailed the week before and everything running like clockwork.

Izzy, did a prep test, as we all felt the first outing should be a confidence 

builder and Izzy hasn't totally nailed the 20m canter circles! 

Janice Underwood scored the test and Izzy and Pitchie received 

73.3% and a blue ribbon!

Thank you Anna 

Ps we shouldn't have dressed up for the day but it is fun playing dress up 

next time we'll be neatly presented and wearing multiple layers!

A Perfect Day in the Southern Highlands

 

It's been an absolutely gorgeous day today.  

My American friends would say it was a "pretty day" and they would be right.  

The garden has its Spring flush, the dogs have been clipped, the sun is shining, 

children are laughing and playing happily outside and the scent of 

Jasmine and Wisteria fill the air. 

We're having fish n chips on The Gib (the long view above) 

and I'm feeling blessed 

Thank you Lord
