So self indulgent again.... Although I messed up.
Went to West Wilts and jumped the .95m first, went clear in the first round and then the JO. Jumped the first one, turned to the 2nd which was about a 1.10 oxer, which she jumped on a big angle, landed, turned 2 strides into another 1.10 oxer and then I got carried away, still on a high from doing the first turn I turned way too tight into an upright, came round the corner and thought oops, if I had kicked at that point instead of still thinking oops she would have jumped it as it was we came to a very sedate halt in front of it. Oh well, she still came 3rd though.
I then went in the 1.05 which is the biggest class I've jumped on her. Jumped 1 and 2 lovely, then I interfered all the way down to 3 and she had it down, jumped the rest beautifully. I am so stupid. But we were 2nd anyway as there was only 1 clear.
The course builder today was a proper BSJA one and she built a proper BSJA type course so I'm feeling a bit more confident about going to Summerhouse now on Tuesday.
