Hola Oliva!

Just finished our first weekend, or "seasonal debut", at the Mediterranean Equestrian Tour. Fabulous place i have to say, just wish there was a bit of grass around! Think the horses will be craving it within the next few weeks - irish n all.

The three horses are in top form. i kept them all in the smaller classes (1m35 and 1m40) to get back into shape and stretch themselves out, without putting too much pressure on them. clear or one down all three days. Maggie (aka Westwinds Cirracruise) actually managed to snag herself a minor placing in the accumulator saturday afternoon without breaking a sweat :-).

Back to business this weekend though. We've spent the last two days riding the horses along the beach. Great fun! The sea was a little rough today though so we (Pam and I) kept to dry land. Haven't really decided what the plan is for this weekend yet. Perhaps Curly in the big class Friday and maybe let Merlin pop around the small one again. I've another two days to decide... no panic around here thats for sure! Plus, no need to peak too early....

Top names here too - Billy Twomey, Bosty, Peter Charles, Geoff Billington etc etc. Great support for the organizers.

I'll write more in the weekend - thank God for WIFI - just thought i'd give you a quick update.

speak soon :-)
