So Dom had his second go at Novice affiliated dressage today.
The day started on a high when he loaded first time, straight away with no hesitation!!
I nearly got him back off again to reward him as it is a 'first time ever' moment.
However, horrid me made him go and play at two Novice tests at Hunters.
First test was indoors and he decided the strip of sunlight under the door was a snake that was going to lunge at him! He was a bit tense throughout but came 3rd (in the restricted section) with 62.4%
Second test was outdoors. Sadly the sun came out (he's a photosensitive headshaker so that's not good for him
) but he managed a lovely test and got an 8 for his medium trot!!
netting him 63.84% and a 4th place.
So, all in all I'm very proud of my little cob, especially as there were some extremely nice horses out to play today.
