A Saturday morning with an early start is not good, but when it's 6.00am like today, it should be banned! But despite the early hour it was a beautiful day and I really enjoyed it. It did give me the opportunity to ride out 3 horses; Frontier Dancer, Major Malarkey and one other.

Dancer was a bit agitated today and pulled very hard, at times it was difficult to hold her, but I managed it and it's little things like this that give me confidence. If I can handle a twitchy horse now, then with a bit of practise, nothing should phase me come the race.

Finished about half nine, which meant I could get home in time for a well-deserved (and quickly eaten) breakfast! Bit of pampering is in order this afternoon, so I've booked myself in to have my hair done. Then off out this evening for a well-deserved girl's night out!
