I think this is my first competition report here, thought i might as well jump on the bandwagon!
Quick heads up, Henry and i did 2 intro's during the spring of last year but then our season came to an abrupt halt due to injury...after injury...after injury. because he found intro all too easy we decided to come straight out at PN this year, so yesterday was our first attempt.
The dressage was rather disappointing, henry was feeling great but during the test he was very unsteady in his head, not exactly head tossing but he was irritated by something, (imaginary flies?) and scored 48.5
4 hours later onto the showjumping, warmed up really well, and felt very grown up in the ring, and he jumped a super round just unlucky to have the upright down after the double, which seemed to be the bogey fence
At last after a long day it was XC time
He was awesome and flew round clear, no sticky moments, just great fun and we came in just inside the optimum time.
I'm so, so thrilled with him, could not have asked for a better day!
