Hope everybody gets a nice present or two for Christmas. Spare a thought for all our equine friends out there. Ensure they have plenty of fresh food, water, shade and company and if you’re off on a holiday, be sure to arrange for a responsible person to keep an eye on them while you’re away.
Thanks Zoe, for leaving a comment on my blog. Enjoy reading your new Riding High Books.
Hello to Rachel of Avalon in new South Wales. Rachel sent me a lovely letter recently. Rachel, I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas and New Year.

Riding High is certainly doing that. Keep a lookout for book five, to be titled, Heads or Tails, which will be released early next year.
Merry Christmas and a happy New Year to everyone. I hope all of you who own horses have stocked up on hay to feed your horses through the summer. With the current drought, feed for horses has become very expensive and quite hard to get.
Spider went to his first show on the weekend. It was the Palomino Horse Breeders State championships. I was very pleased with the way he behaved himself. Going out for the whole day is a big deal for such a young horse but he took it all in his stride.
Cruise also went to his first show a couple of weeks ago and was very well behaved. He even managed to win a few ribbons, which he deserved as he’s a wonderful pony who is always trying to please his rider, who, in this case, was my son.
All the horses will get to have a break over Christmas but Cruise will be going to more shows over Summer. I’m looking forward to doing lots of riding with my daughter now that she is on school holidays
