Our riding plans have had to change this week with some of the horses becoming unavailable at the last minute. This has been a great disappointment to all of the riders and their parents- as well as me.
Sara couldn't wait for the lessons- she had a pony ride during the Young Rider Championships.
Instead, a few other wonderful opprtunities to watch high profile riders became possible.
Alisha and Kate were taken to watch a lesson given by Monica Theoderescu.
Emily & Julian accompanied Daniel Hoffstadt to some clients stables where he worked 5 horses.
Sara, Dimity, Emily and Steve went on an adventure by bus, train & taxi to meet Hubertus Schmidt; they were able to spend a few hours watching him train which in a little way made up for not being able to ride today.
All of these demonstrations have reinforced again the wonderful presentations and talks we have had with riders, breeders, judges & coaches. I'm sure all of the riders own horses will benefit greatly from this experience -despite the disappointment of limited riding.
