Yesterday i took my horse into this local show and did a few classes which i was happy with but one of my classes made me a tad angry, it was the ridden hunter class and all we were asked to do was a walk,trot,canter and extended canter.
We had a fair few in our class and then i went up and i was so proud of my boy, we did a perfect forward going walk and trot, i did a change of rein on the diagonal and then a figure of eight in canter followed by and extended canter down the long side which i then pulled back to a steady twenty metre circle in canter and another in trot up the other end
I thought we did so well.
Then this other girl went up with her youngster, as soon as she got out there her horse wouldnt stand still infront of the judge she then went off and did the slowest of walks and went straight up into trot from there, it was all a little muddled tbh her horses head was throwing about in the air and her hands were on her knees trying to pull him back down, she did a few changes of rein and twenty metres in trot and then attempted a canter but couldnt get the right leg so she she left it and finished her routine.
i dont get it
When we were being placed the judge called out the people for 1st and second and then called out this girl on the youngster giving her third place and gave me 4th... she couldnt even get a canter and my routine included everything the judge asked and the judge even told me how well i completed my routine... i was a little dissapointed but more baffled at how this girl came third when both me and others in my class had completed our routines and yet still come after this girl
