Here's the Doob looking exceptionally smart for the Tack and Turnout yesterday. The girls were taking part in a relay race with four team members going round a variety of obstacles - rustic fences, a gate, a pen and a 'baton' changeover- racing against another team on a mirror-image course. Although they got knocked out in the first round they all acquitted themselves well.The not so good news is that, when we got to the event Ruby appeared to be in season. The question is whether to wait til her next scheduled scan in September to see whether she's still in foal or get her tested now.
The only up-side is that she usually gives no indication that she's in season at all and it might just be her hormones. She did seem a bit 'off', not her usual chirpy self, but I thought that was because she didn't like being plaited up. Let's keep everything crossed that she was just having an off day!
