Mum's Day Out - Update

Mum went to watch some horse trials today at Belton House which is near us.


We often go with her, but today she decided to go on her own - I guess she didn't want Dad to be left all alone on his birthday.
The trials are in 3 parts - the first one is a bit like an obedience test that I could take, except it has a fancy name - dressage.  The second stage is where the horses run around the park jumping great big fences like these...

I've never done anything like that, but I could manage the run around bit!  After that, they come back into a ring and do some more jumping...

 That looks a bit like agility to me!
