Hi everyone it's still really busy for Spirit and I here in Gloucestershire and Spirit is doing really well fuelled by her Simple System horse feeds! I'm just gearing up to travel up to County Durham for a charity fundraising demonstration over two days on the 29th and 30th of November as I write this blog and I'm hugely excited because I've never been up that far before! I guess one of the things I'm most looking forward to is the demo itself and then doing a bit of exploring whilst I'm up there but I must say I wish I was taking Spirit. And having to borrow two horses from riding for the disabled there instead but one of the local Intelligent Horsemanship instructors is lending me her round pen for my demo which will be fantastic to keep everyone safe!
