Rode out early this morning and had a really good time. Completely relaxed; of course, it's much easier now the mornings are getting brighter and slightly warmer. The views are really spectacular too, which helps!

I'm really looking forward to tomorrow's test ride on the horse I will be racing on. No nerves at all, which is a vast improvement compared to the beginning of training.

Carl Llewellyn with Earth Summit

 

Next week, I've arranged to meet top jump jockey Carl Llewellyn for some racing pointers. I've met him before but I'm looking forward to picking his brain for tips that might help for the big day...every little helps!
