German Reithof
Did a quick visit to a small Reihof near where I am staying at the moment. It's a converted farm so the space for horses varies from really nice to cute, but all large and airy.

Safety Tips for Trail Riders (video)
Seen old castle ruins almost a thousand years old, solar panels covering whole roofs and mini township sized windfarms, and even seen some downdown horses in a modern horse agistment property publicised as a horse resort. And that is in two days
Oh and the beer is cheap and good.
BP Eventing does Germany
The big one for the year was the Top Team horse trials held this time at at Bulla. The Crosscountry proved to be a good test of horse and rider.
Coming 5th after dressage, after the cross country we were in first place for several hours. Even the one rail we pulled in showjumping did not change that. But a protest by one of the riders did. One of the penalties they attracted on the crosscountry was overturned and we ended up in second place once more.
What do you get after a 58% dressage test, a stop crosscountry plus time, and a rail showjumping? 2nd place at the Yackandandah Horse trials held at the Kergunya Pony club grounds. A challenging crosscountry course plus a well designed showjumping meant no double clear rounds for anybody this time.
Thankyou to the sponsors Corowa Chaff Mills and Virbac for the great prices we got and of course Yackandandah Riding Club for going through the effort of running this (and the great Lamb Roast dinner)
Bit chilly this morning but off to walk the xc anyway
Went to Nepean Horsetrials and was doing really well apart from one minor issue. The course was a bit slippery in spots.
It's only a few weeks until the TTT Horse Trials 2012 takes place, hosted this year by Bulla ARC
The Sydney International 3 Day Event produced some tight results with the top 7 places all within a rail of each other. Shane Rose on Taurus ended up winning. The only double clear on the weekend was produced by Sonja Johnston on Parkiarrup Illicit Liaison. All of this will give the Australian Selectors plenty of food for thought with regards to the London Olympics just around the corner.
