All prepared to go and do the Arena Eventing yesterday, set off on time this morning, got there, warm up went as planned - we only got 45 in the dressage as she went a bit tense in the arena, but for us, that was the best eventing dressage we have ever had!! It is improving, and I am really pleased with her, she was very obedient, I should have relaxed more.

Then off to the jumping - only did the small class as my jumping confidence is only just returning after my last broken leg!!

16 fences in the arena, 9 SJ 6 xc - some of the xc were on really tight turns and angles 13a and b was a 2 strided dog leg and 15 was 2 strides off the fence on an angle - so was'nt holding my breath, but anyway jumped a lovely clear (apart from fence 15 which we got all wrong, but she still cleared it anyway

)

so ended up with 3rd place - oh and and .25 under the optimum time so a very good time score too! She was soooooo well behaved today, I have seen such a turnabout in her behaviour lately and I'm not sure why, but enjoying it anyway!

the last time we went to Church Farm in the summer, I could'nt even get her round the clear round, then my friend fell off her in the clear round! So a big big improvement!

Anyway, well done again, hopefully will see you out and about soon.
 
I've just checked out the scores, and there was not many jumping clears through the day!!! It was not an easy course! Are you doing the April one? I will move up a class for that one!
 
Yes thinking of doing the April one, its the last one I think so might as well as nothing else on that weekend. Sounds like May was good today and you're getting your confidence back. You did very well to go clear - well done
