OXER TIME 
With bad weather forecasts for the weekend, the chance was taken today for Sophie to bomb around Tokoro's outer track with 'Jaguar' once Louis had warmed him up, while the boy used 'Heart' for some jumping training. The plan was to get some experience in with so-called oxer fences - two verticals close together to form a wider fence - and he ended up consistently clearing an 80cm version that Megumi had put together. It will be interesting to see what Louis and 'Heart' can do in their next show-jumping competition given today's practice session, as they look like a good combination in this field of activity. Meanwhile, 'Jaguar' will continue to take part in dressage and gymkhana events.
