I cannot think of a witty or creative title as I am a very tired Bef

(I apologise for the title) 

So yesterday I took Jack out SJ schooling at an indoor school near me (with the help of my glamorous assistants Emma and Mother). It was a new venue I hadn't tried before and would definitely recommend Priory, the staff were very friendly and the stables looked nice enough for me to live in myself! I was originally going to book the outdoor but my Dad suggest to book the indoor because a) the weather and b) Jack doesn't have that much experience with indoors and gets quite tense in the one at Ashwood so it's something we need to work on. He was a super star, we had a few minor disagreements but I cannot fault him for this as he just messed a stride, completely missed his spot and being the trooper he is decided to still plow himself through, totalling the jump and actually hitting himself in the face with a pole. He's usually a very confident horse (for his age!) but understandably it gave him a bit of a fright so we had a few stops and poles but it's the first proper jumping session we've had away from home and the first proper jumping session in a good couple of months, so we were both a little rusty (me more so than him definitely!) Was very, very pleased with him though, he had a great attitude to all that he was asked to do as usual, wasn't bothered by the new poles or wings that he hadn't seen before and ended on a 90cm course which is the biggest course we've ever jumped around. Just got to keep working away at now, but we're making progress I like to think! He's also in a new bit now (A cambridge mouth pelham) which he is miles more relaxed in and has already started to settle more on the flat in just two sessions which is very nice to feel. Once again, we got on the trailer in 5 minutes both ways also, so good baby horse! 
 Hopefully next week we're going to try the new Arena Eventing XC Technique at Someford; don't worry, Sparkie will have a turn to go out and play soon, I do feel a little bit bad and maybe that I'm leaving him out sometimes but he had such a busy summer last year with only one week off so it's nice for him to have a nice chilled winter to relax for a bit. He is happy being his usual super cute self in the field for now whilst we try to make a mark on our flatwork :)
