25. 08. 07. Daisy has just completed her week at the Trois Fontaines stable. For the first few summers here she went each week to the stable at Villeneuvette where we led her on a pony through the woods for an hour. She enjoyed this, although after a while we all knew all the trails through the woods by heart! A couple of years ago the stable moved north to the Larzac plateau so we have been looking for an alternative ever since. This year we discovered les Trois Fontaines at Canet which is about 10 minutes from here on the scooter and enrolled her for a week. She was in a class of 4 with one French Canadian girl and an English girl in the afternoons. The class is from 9-12 in the morning and then from 3-6 in the afternoon. Her progress has been spectacular. She started on Monday riding on her own for the first time and ended up Saturday having learnt to canter, and do small jumps. En route she has also learnt to stand up on a moving horse, kneel on a moving horse, ride backwards and hack through bush and a river. We are very proud of her! The horse in the pictures is her beloved Frou Frou.
