You'll probably be gone by the time I get to do my test then! prelim 1 at 11.06 I think? Then I've got Prelim 4 around 12 ish, Novice 21 about 2 and Elem 44 just past 4 o'clock!
Although I am hoping to get there quite early so that I give his lordship plenty of time to shrink back to his original size! He comes off the lorry and grows by a hand and I'm quite happy with his being 17.2 and not 18 plus! Plus I know it can be quite spooky there as well! (So if you want a laugh hang around!!!!) Are you restricted or open? I'm in the open sections for the prelims and novice test

Well first test is 11.06 I think and judging by tonights schooling session I should charge for entertainment factor as I hvae a feeling that all is not going to go well!
On the other hand, as he has been so naughty tonight, he might be as good as gold tomorrow (She says whilst kneeling and praying for some divine intervention!)

Hmmmmm, well that was an interesting morning..... Got up at 5.45 so could plait, clean, pack and be ready to start loading at 7.30, giving myself half hour to load, and leave by 8 at the latest. well, how wrong was I! Toffee decided rather than load, she would p*ss off and charge around a frozen field for about 15 mins, then proceed not to load for the following 1 3/4 hours
My friend who was helping went up to Keysoe to see if I could get a later time, which I could at 11.12 so finally made it for that one, where she proceeded to shuffle about like an OAP! We managed the grand score of 51.6%
She has recently been diagnosed with the onset of arthritis in her knees so all that charging about on the frozen ground seemed to have affected her.
Despite that though she didn't nap at all once there (a first!!) and behaved perfectly, even loading striaght away to go home!!
MARES!!!!!
I think you went before me in the end, is your horse bay? Hope you did well anyway

Yes it was me before you mate! I was 11.06.... the huge big bay monster!
Am very pleased with todays results..... Prelim 1 72.1% !!!!!!!!!!!! We were in the open section though, so presume you were restricted? (We came second, the winner got 74 %......)
You should have grabbed me and said hello......!

Well done!
Yes I was restricted....restricted to should have stayed at home cateogry! Believe it or not have already qualified for Trailblazers and last 2 outings (last year) we got 60% so not sure what went wrong today!
I would have come and said hello but until I looked at the list of times/riders waiting for scores I realised you were ahead of me!
Will do next time though!
