Well, how wet could it be!
Drove up to see lorries being towed onto the ground :S luckily ours got on and off fine :)
Dressage first, it was on grass and the ground was ok in places but not great, It was torrential rain at the time to!. he warmed up ok but did a tense test and was busy watching everyone else instead of listening to me :eye: He did everything were it should be and right canter leads and got a score of 41 which was about what i thought :)
Went straight to SJ as organisers said to go straight away then straight to XC so everything kept moving. Got a clear!! and seemed alot more flowing than BSJA the other week so was mega chuffed :)
Tack change then off to XC. He went really nicely and didn't look at any of the fences. Got a stop at the water tho, something i know he doesn't like and need to practice, but he did go in after having a qiuck sniff :eye:

Overall very chuffed with him as everything is so new to him. Have videos of SJ and Dressage andwill put them up once friend sends them me

Lots of photos tho

He's so fab. I can't wait to see how your season progresses.

What class was that? I only ask, as he makes the SJ look tiny but I know he's huge.

How cute is his face when he's cantering along xc?! :)
 
Lovely pics!
You both look fab - Goli has that cute baby enthusiasm but looks totally genuine. He is a star - all credit to you for all your hard work with him!
 
Well done!! It takes a lot of dedication to go eventing in the rain and mud - give me indoor DR any day of the week!!! But seriously, looks like you had a great day despite the weather!
 
Lol, i thought i recognised a few people but to shy to say hi lol.
His showjumping is coming on, just need to sit back a bit more as his stride is soooooo long lol
 
Thank you everyone
He is off to Somerford for there eventing camp 16th-18th March then i think Eland lodges HT on th 29th April will be th next competition!
