This isn't a picture u see very often!!!

Tomorrow Eloise is taking part in her first 'One day event' riding competition - it comprises of Dressage, Show jumping and cross country - she's nervous about the dressage as she's not done it before but apart from that she's really excited! She's invited Nanny and Grandad and Auntie, Uncle and cousin to come watch (Auntie Sam has been tasked with plaiting her ponies tail as there's no way I'm brave enough to do it!!)
So anyway today we had to wash, groom the pony she's riding as well as clean the saddle , tack and then walk the course - the reason for this blip is that I'm absolutely terrified of horses (even the little ones) so I was quite chuffed that I managed to not only get in the stable with 'Dinky' but to hold him on the lead rein and pose for a picture once we'd washed him ( couldn't quite manage that so got friend to help !!)
Been a lovely sunny day and altho to be honest I don't feel comfortable at the stables - I know nothing about horses anymore and feel like a nervous wreck when I'm there but Eloise loved me helping her (sort off helping) and I'm so proud of how great she is there that today was an exception !!
Tomorrows blip will hopefully be her winning a rosette xxx
