Had a really lovely day. We boxed up to beacon this morning with Georgia and Lily. The last two times Buddy has been out in the horse box he's been hunting so when I got his travel gear out here started quivering with excitement. I could tell he was looking for the hounds when we arrived and he was so excited. We had a fabulous ride, with some great fast canters and we also popped a couple of logs in the woods. The boys were brilliant. 

We met up with the Zoe and the kids for a walk this afternoon and went to the deli for coffee and cake and bumped into our friend Ruth which was nice. 

Then I had a riding lesson with a different Ruth. Working on getting the same amount of energy out of Buddy in the school as we do out and about and not letting him give me half power. He was working really well towards the end of the lesson.
