Better late than never...........

The Boys and i are settling in very well and loving it very much. It really does take a lot out of them when they fly over, i think they both lost about 100 kg each.

Johnny was able to continue his competitions once he arrived and has been progressing very well, with placings in his Preliminary( that is our novice). Plans are to have him hopefully run in an intermediate in 6 weeks or there abouts.

Tim has found it very difficult and I have had alot of trouble with his weight and loosing alot of muscle at the same time. He has done two competitions and placed in both, not running exceptionally fast on cross country. He has just started to pick up in condition again and is entered for a competition in 6 weeks at Middleburg horse trials.

Sharon White who i work for (WWW.lastfrontierfarm.com) is fantastic and is certainly a  phenominal jump rider indeed. I am sure she will keep me on track with chasing down the time on the cross country.............

I will endeavor to keep posting more often, now that i have actually started.
