For sale...maybe, bridles and moving!

Well it seems forever since I blogged but life is a bit upside down at the moment.  We have been frantically searching for a new home and yard for the horses as we have to leave here by the end of June and although everyone I know is searching it is now not looking likely that we will find somewhere for everyone to be able to move with us.  So everyone has been trying to find new yards to move their horses to and we have been looking for a new home aswell.  It looks likely that Peter and I and our five horses are going to relocate to a lovely yard at Scorton where we will be able to live on but unfortunately this does not have room for anyone else.  This also means that my income has pretty much dried up and although I would love to become a kept women, I think it's pushing my luck to expect Peter to keep five horses aswell!!!!
Pepper Hill Livery Yard is only half full and I have kept it this way so that the fields could rest and so that if we did not find a suitable yard I could always have moved my lot there.  So I now need to drum up some business and fill up some of the stables.

Mez and I have done our last competition for a while as her BD membership expired on the 1st of May so I thought I'd leave it until we had moved and got settled.  Too much too do with the yard and the house to pack up and move!  She now has 22 BD points.  There is a possiblity I may sell her as it is not looking likely that Tilly will be sound enough to event next year so if I want to then I have to replace on of the horses and Mez is the most likely.  Peter does not think I will be able to do it.....but we'll see.  The thought of it fills me with dread but I have been tentatively looking at event horses for sale so this may well spur me on!

Maisey has been getting used to having a bridle on....not something she appreciated at first!  She kept opening her  mouth and could not understand why the bit would not drop out!  She is getting better with it now though.  I would really like to have sat on her before we leave here so I can do it in the indoor school where she is happy.

Kirkby has his vaccinations this week and he is actually behaving at the mo (don't want to tempt fate though!!!) and some mornings is the best behaved of the lot coming in from the field.  He is growing daily and now stands around 16hh.  He has been doing a couple of days of horsebox training ready for the move!  Second day he marched onto the ramp and had tea with all four feet on it!  It will be a long walk if we have to lead him to Scorton!!!!
