After 4 years, a month in traction, a year lond search for a horse...

WE DID IT!!!!!

Right...I will keep this as short as possible...I bought Bruce in October after 3 years of lost confidence, not competing because of no nerve and a really bad accident. This....was our first BSJA. It is a complete mess, he spooked at the first, and I rode terribly....but somehow, we managed to go clear.

Running commentary kindly provided by OH and YO/instuctor/best friend (who I bought Bruce from...though he is still reg. with the BSJA as hers...!)

Try not to laugh at my riding (wrong leg etc...) or commentary. Go on...I dare you!




Apologies to anyone who saw me at Sands today and thought I was miserable...not that you would have noticed, but I was VVVVVV NERVOUS! X

He gives them some room doesn't he?

Well done, it's hard to come back after a bad experience but it will get easier and easier now - you've done the hardest bit.

 

[teapot]

LOVE the commentary.

Liking bruce too - well done

 

[fizz-tally]

well done,he looks a nice lad

 

[Agent XXX999]

He is very honest...for some reason the whole things not on there...will try and sort. I was crying with laughter at my sarky loved ones taking the p*ss!

 

[Ferdinase514]

The commentary was really funny - was upset when the vid ended was quite enjoying it!

Really well done though

 

[Forget_Me_Not]

Wow what lovely poping scopy jump your riding there! I think i been there.. though every indoor school is starting to look the same!

 

[TequilaMist]

Well done!!Vid was great!You both looked great!
Have you got another one planned now?

 

[Hornby]

That was great - and good commentary! Well done to achieve that after a knock to your confidence - that was the hardest bit...sure it will get easier next time!

 

[Bright_Spark]

Well done!

 

[meandmyself]

Well done you! Love Bruce- he's a lovely chap!

 

[siennamiller]

hey, I didn't realise you were close to me. I live 10 mins from sands. He looks great and you did fine, especially if you have had a bad experience

 

[TheBlackMoth]

Well done - sounds like you thoroughly deserved it - nervous or not.

 

[Blizzard]

Aww well done! Love the vid!

 

[YorksG]

Only just seen it, well done!

 

[JACQSZOO]

Well done you. I hope I can get my confidence back enough to compete one day. Sounds like your friend and OH are really supportive.

 

[Sooty]

Aw well done you! Loved the commentary - Ellen Whitaker or Ellen MacArthur? So easily confused...

 

[JoBo]

Oh brilliant! You did really well and Bruce is lovely! I also wanted to see more!
