A very long weekend with some ups and downs (But great wether), We got 37 dressage which i was a bit disappointed with as he went really well, didnt agree with the comments as judge thought the canter was laboured, (it felt really active) then we went to SJ and had 3 SJ down!. I was expecting one but the other two he was kind of excused as a quad shot past the ring when i was coming to the 3rd fence and he shot of at 100 miles an hour knocking down 3 and 4 silly horse! he has always hated Quad bikes for some reason!

sunday we weren't on until 3.02 by which time Frabkie had stood in lorry and trembled with excitement for 2 hours! (he was worse in the stable which overlooked the XC hence why i put him in the lorry) he always shakes before he goes XC he somehow seems to know when its XC time! we were inside the time on both roads and tracks and the steeplechase. then clear inside the time XC so was very pleased with him, we ended up 14th, the SJ's dropped us 10 places!

here are a few piccies comments welcome!

He looks really smart and professional as always.
I filmed S on the yard at 11 am yesterday quivering from head to foot. She was being such a twit I'm glad it wasn't just her tho'.
The SJ seemed to cause lots of probs, really not sure why, but we stopped at the little rustic fan fence & still don't know why she was horrified by it!
Apart from that glitch in the SJ you must be well pleased with him.
Will you do it again?

Yes I was pleased, just annoyed with the SJ, Still waiting for it to all come together on the same day, eventing hey! He shivered from 6 on the sat until 3 on the sunday when we went on roads and tracks, he has lost a fair bit if weight, luckily he had it to loose!!

Yes i think i will do it again, you certainly get more for your money compared to BE!
