A dream come true - so happy I could burst!

[Gorgeous George]

George and I went to Norton Heath today for a dressage competition, next step in our recent confidence building work. I was a bit nervous for the walk and trot test but we did it and came 5th out of about 15

Then we had a bash at the prelim, strangely I was a bit calmer although worried about cantering in the arena but we did our best. There were I think 18 in the class and ............WE WON!!!

I have dreamt about coming 1st in a competition for as long as I've been riding but i never have, I am so thrilled with George, obviously watching the olympic dressage this afternoon helped

A few pics:

I so sorry this is really self indulgent but I just want to shout from the rooftops

Dressage and I dont go well together.......my husband says I drive in straight lines round corners......well I do the same on a horse too!!!

I have to say, I do love George. But dont tell him that

Aww congrats! Looks like some good consistant marking.

I drove past NH on my way to the yard at about 5pm as my usual route had a road closure - nearly popped in to watch a bit!

[somethingorother]

Well done to both of you!

I always get so nervous in dressage i forget my test, and in jumping i forget the course hehe.

Nerves even get to the pro's tho, a couple of olympians had the bell rang when they forgot their tests

So you did even better than them to go in and get 1st!
