which I hate to admit is only about the 2nd/3rd time I've been on him this year 
J pretty much rides him full time these days and as Murph is a bit full of himself I haven't wanted to swop much. (It's not that I don''t think she could manage him I would just feel bad asking her to ride him when I know he's been getting 'over excited' rather a bit lately - oh the joys of spring 
)
Anyhows because it was an ER here today and J was working this afternoon/early evening when it would be done I decided to school him.
He is such a little star, the total opposite of murph, so eager and willing to please - makes me think I should ride him more often (and yes i decided against schooling Murph once again ).
Anyhows to make it a bit more interesting (probably for me if I'm honest) I found a walk trot stressage test earlier and we practised some of the movements and then had a go at the whole test... Well in a fashion as OH refused to come out so I was riding around with a bit of paper in my hands whilst trying to ride the movements and see what came next and where
it was a lovely straight forward test so I have scanned it below incase anyone else fancies having a play with it. Excuse the state it's in - had it shoved down my half chaps when not in my hands!
