2 out of 3 ain't bad right?!! 
Not been to horseheath before for a BE so thought as its local to me i'd give it a bash!! Here's how my day went....
It didn't get off to the best of starts when my studs refused to behave, eventually got him studded and headed over to the dressage!! Upon arrival at the collecting ring I wandered about aimlessly probably looking completely lost thankfully the BE80 trainer who just so happened to be my sj instructor came to the rescue and began to warm us up, beanz was alot more relaxed than at AUW so with the aim of keeping him supple and relaxed we headed into the arena, the test worked in our favor as there was no full centre line or free walk which aren't our best moves!! He remained relaxed throughout the test so I was pleased and somewhat shocked to get a 34!!! Good ponio!!
On to the 'wonderful' phase that is sj.... Would Boris the animal make an appearance???? Thankfully once again Barry (BE80 trainer!) was there to warm us up.... Might employ him to be there for every event!!!
so into the ring of death we went now the first 6 or so fences went by without much of a hitch.... Fence 7 was a bit dodgy and by fence 8 Boris had reminded me that we were in fact digging to Australia not jumping a sj round, so I buried the poor pony most of the way to China, by fence 9 I decided we should really make it to Australia so I buried him some more at this point I'm pretty sure beanz was suitably embarrassed and thus took control for the final element and got us home.... With 2 down! I am annoyed I let him down he could have told me to jog on at the end of the course but he didn't.... Damn it Boris won that round hey-ho off to xc we go!!
Now this course was by far the beefiest and most colourful we have attempted, there was an alternative at the ditch and a mahooosive boat out of the water but of course the bean machine was a complete machine and made absolutely nothing of the course to fly round clear with just 4.4 tf what a little legend!! Straight over the ditch and the boat!! Such a little super 🌟 
We finished on a final score of 46.4 and 17th one of these days all 3 phases will go right on the same day but a much improved dressage score and flying xc round is all I need to make me smile for the next week!!!
Onwards and upwards with Keysoe next on our list!!
A few pics of my very cute pony doing his thing!!!
