Well, after leaping out of bed at 3am this morning and returning to the house at 8pm this evening, I am very glad to be home!
The longest day ever, with one very giddy Fitz in the warm up for the first test, ended up working him in for an hour as didnt think was ever going to get to the bottom of him, fortuently 10mins before my time he got tired and I could actually ride him, this was after a very near miss with a standing on back legs moment when I wondered what the hell I was doing on such a rediculously large creature. Once tired however he was super and really rideable, went in and didnt look at a thing, did a lovely test, with a few baby moments but some really grown up moments, in what was the trickiest test he has done to date. He stayed with me for the whole thing and got a massive hug at the end
Ended on 66.15% and 3rd
Just gave him 25mins for the area festival test as he was tired, and he was good but had a freak out going round before the bell went and nearly lost it, but managed to hold it together to pull of another lovely test with just a few green bits.
Came 9th with 65.95%
Very pleased with him as he really acted like a grown up for the first time in the actual tests and let me ride him, this is not the end goal for him, but quite fun to do on the way up.
