Jessica Sprague Brushabilities Day 8


Here is what I made today! I made the coral coloured tag first and then thought I'd see what it would look like if I changed the colours! What a difference it makes - can't decide which I like best!!!
Family News: We had a long day at the stables yesterday! Evie's 11am lesson went well. She takes her first ever Pony Club test next week - she has to go dressed in shirt and tie and best cream jods - MUST get a photo of that! Antoinette rode Molly at lunchtime and she was good as usual, if a bit frisky! Gotta love that horse though! Not many rides left till she goes now :( Unfortunately, events conspired against us and Antoinette didn't get a chance to eat anything much before her lesson - again. She was riding Darren this week - a biiiig boy! She actually rode him really well, but a good 15 minutes of no stirrups and having to trot meant she had aching leg muscles half an hour after riding! It also did nothing to improve her mood, lol! When they did a trot up the 3/4 line, leg yielding to the track and into canter at the corner, he behaved impeccably for her though, despite the teacher saying he's dead to the leg! I'm hoping that despite the discomfort this week (they did a lot of gentle trotting and not much else because of the heat - boy it was hot out at Manston!!!) Antoinette will take on Darren as her next pet project, as she rides him beautifully! We'll see!
Today, we're taking Marion down to Whitstable. We're going to have ice cream while she and mum go and look at dead fish at the fish market there, lol! Every time we go there the girls can't get over all the eyes looking at them!! Then Antoinette is going up to the stables for what will be her last ride on Molly. I'm going to take some photos as well hopefully. Tomorrow we're going to Hever Castle for the day, and despite offering to come back early so she can ride Molly, Antoinette said she didn't want to see Molly tomorrow. Wednesday morning we will go up to the stables early, as Molly's oner will be there at 10am, and we presume Molly will be leaving soon after that! Got a horrible feeling I'll be as bad as Antoinette with the tears!!
Anyway! Forward for today!
