Horse Nasal Strips-Flair Strips

Blimey, the weeks just seem to go so fast at the mo, although I do wonder why, as we haven’t managed to get a lot done with the bloody weather. But according to the local newspaper, Spring is next week ~ hooray!!
Having the season finally starting again, we were excited to get cracking on at the comps’ but unfortunately after long drives, they have always been cancelled, or are too dangerous to run on new ice and snow!
However to cheer things up, my sponsor Cheval Chic delivered lovely boxes of goodies and branded gear for both horses and I. They also supplied me with a very nice pair of De Niro patent boots. I love them and making out I am Katie Price! Even so, I confess when I am bored on Sunday evening I end up watching “what Katie did next.” I spied out a very nice white leather pair she was wearing! So those are next on the wish list!
Cheval Chic’s gear is all very snazzy and I end up walking around like the queen B in lots of different outfits.
Flair Nasal Strips which also kindly supplies me, has brought out some new white strips. Bright white ones which look really smart and flashy.
We managed to get some cross country training under our belts, but it wasn’t at Saumur though, as the whole set-up there is just miles of sand and it never defrosted.
So we ended up going to one of the nearest international events here called Mezziere en Brenne. It’s an animal watching Activity Park and it usually holds a CIC** in the summer in 35 degrees! I don’t know what’s worse really, the very cold or very hot. Dad was lucky and flew off to California to get a bit of sunshine; he likes to think he’s got nothing to do with the horses but, ended up spending his whole time shopping and comparing the different prices at local horse ranch shops!
I have managed to get a lot of show jumping training under my belt, and finally realise maybe it would be easier just to become a show jumper. A lot less things to work on and most of it is indoors anyway! Woody has rather enjoyed the jump offs. Racing around like a looney over big poles.
Hopefully my next bog will be a lot more juicy and full of competition chat. Ohh – I forgot to say my real name is actually Candida and we registered it on BE as Candy. For some reason it’s now registered in France and the French just can’t not pronounce Candy, but Cindy. Everywhere I go, I hear Cindy Crawford and if I hear that joke again I will scream!! www.flairstrips.com
