2/3 ain’t bad right?! 😜 afterall the main challenge of eventing is getting all 3 right on the same day! 🤣

A rather foggy start to my day after my 4:30 alarm 🙈 as I was driving to LD I was kinda hoping the fog wouldn’t clear so at least if we fluffed up the dressage at the A end the judge wouldn’t really see it! 😂 either that or perhaps my mum would sweet talk the judge into giving me 8s as it just so happened she was writing for my section! First down the centre line with a test I’d barely looked at... man my organisation skills need some practise!! I thought it was a sweet test, nothing spectacular but everything was where it should have been and no scary ghosts 👻 to make us spook! Turns out Poplar’s PB wasn’t a fluke and we totally topped it with a new PB of 30!!! 😍 #dude

Unfortunately though it wasn’t quite our day in the sj, Beanz wasn’t being overly helpful, he was quite frankly ignoring me and not really giving the fences much respect shame as he jumped fab on Thursday over some bigger fences, due to his lack of attention on me we couldn’t really keep a decent canter which resulted in running deep into a few uprights. 8 to add from sj 🙈

The xc looked a lovely course a nice new combination of stair fences at 14 full of flowers the rest he had jumped before! We were first out the start box and he absolutely stormed it 😍 clearly finding it all a bit too easy, taking strides out left right and centre again to come home with yet again too fast time penalties! 🙈 🤣 he is a proper xc machine these days!! ❤️

Onwards and upwards the poles were costly but we do need more match practise in this phase, a few more planned runs and then I need to decide what to do for the latter half of the season! 😃

Didn’t purchase pros photos just yet as they have quite a few photographers on site so I’d like to wait to see what everyone puts up before I decide!! 🙈

Hope everyone else has enjoyed the sunny weekend!
 
Well done you both! I didn't realize you got penalized for being too FAST too! Mental lol
 
Well done! You were in my section but a lot earlier on so didn’t get to see your awesome horse in action. Not our day at all unfortunately and didn’t get to take on the amazing XC course I have been excited to jump all well. Oh well that’s horses :(

Thanks! Yeah you get .4 of a time fault for exceeding 15secs under the optimum time! So i finished with 16 seconds to go and gained 0.4 time penalties! I didnt realise he was motoring quite as much as he was!! My aim for the next BE run is to be inside the time but not too fast!!! :D

Ahhh shame we missed each other! It's my local so i seem to always be number 1 in the section and first on course!! I cant really complain it is only 10 mins away from home!! Sorry to hear your day wasn't great, as long as your both fit and well there's always another day :)
