A day in the life of the endurance horse

[dod]

The maps are out, the bibs are ready.

Start of another day Mum, but that stethoscopes cold!!

Right, we’re off

Any chance of getting out of this box 

We’re having fun 

It’s not all about horses

Half way round and it’s a bit hot

 

[dod]

Gimme that food

Who you calling a pig 

Crewing can be tough though

But if you’re a pup you can find the cool places

Almost finished, time to see the vets at work

If that vet says that about my horse again…………

Finished, what was all the fuss about

Have a rub down lass, was a hard day

Great set of shots detailing the day, it's nothing to do with the horses but the image of the dog is top notch.

I don't think I'll ever complain again about being a 'Dressage Husband' - enter at 'A', proceed down centre line and 20 minutes later bugger off home.

Ta for the comments folks Successful day too, already got "we're having fun" and the owner of the grey emailing me to get the photos onto the site so they can buy them

Mike, she was intending doing a 30 mile on the Saturday and a 50 on the Sunday. Unfortunately saddle problems meant she couldn't do the Sunday and I can see another £300-£400 going to the saddler for "adjustments". Problem is the horse is so fit, and he's doing so much work, his shape changes throughout the season, think I'll just set up a direct debit to him

hee hee
I guess you mean DD to the saddler, not the horse,
although....:shrug:

Expensive way of getting manure for your roses, isn't it!

Yep and they have the nerve to moan about a few quid for a new lens
Good news on the up-coming sales Dod
