"Video stardom, and a shortage of staff"

“Hey guys, hope you are all okay and have managed to keep warm. Working in these cold icy conditions over the past few weeks has not been easy, but spring is on the way and we already have a hose pipe ban!

A near sniff of success

A trip to Pachetts in sub-zero conditions was a test of dedication and survival skills. Even though I went in Spencer’s luxury lorry, the water tanks ended up freezing so we had no running water for three days. With Hickstead qualification just a sniff away, Athene H was fifth in a class of 90 - this was a great result for him as the jump off was standing at 1.30m. Who Boy had a third in a Bluechip 1.25m qualifier and VIP was third in a 1.30m and had one down in a strong 1.40m class; both good boys.

Watch out Rudall

Last week Spencer and I had a busy day with the team from Your Horse magazine, this year we are the ‘experts’ for the training academy. This involves sharing our methods of training and tips in the magazine, and making videos for their website. Going in front of the camera at first was a little daunting, but after a while we relaxed and it all seemed to go quite well. Apparently I was quite good so H&C's Jenny Rudall should watch out... Jay’s World could soon take your slot!

Look good, feel good

A few days prior to our moment on camera, Spencer and I had received boxes of beautiful riding wear from Cavalleria Toscana, which was even better than Christmas. We will be wearing Cavalleria Toscana in all of our training features. 

Gold medal performance

As you know, I like to keep you all up to date with the things I like - so check out this video of some Olympic athletes. Don’t you think the Equestrian Team GBR could do something funnier?

Sadly my body does not look like his, so here comes another health kick!

Tweet of the week

Well my fairy godmother may still not have bought me a horsebox or found me a groom - but I did get tweet of the week in Horse & Hound.  I can’t believe there is a shortage of jobs out there and I am finding it impossible to get staff.

Don’t forget you guys can follow me on Twitter @JayTigerhalim, or add me on facebook for daily updates and general silliness! Thanks for tuning in to the latest Jay’s world.”
