Hi

Always like to keep my posts balanced so here is my bad day

Saf went in field first thing and got wet, fab as I had planned to clip, so place her on the yard by the power point and the horse next to her starts to lick her, he is very hansom and she fell for his charms and next my mare who never shows when she is in season starts curling her body in, half way around me and the clippers and when I start clipping by her tail nearly squirts me

Have to move the other horse but by now the damage is done, she is in the strongest season I have ever seen her and twitching every time I touch her

Oh well not my best ever clip and I also got my head bashed and have a egg on my forehead.

Hurried to finish and off we went to the show, our first jumping since the last event of the season.

Warmed up ok for the 1m went in and her canter changed to a babyish 4 time and I went to pot, had a stop at no 3 all my fault and cleared the rest so finished on 4.

Went into the 1.05 and I stupidly came into the first fence on her bad right rein, it was no 3 which we had stopped at in the first class and we crashed through it

and cantered on to the next, gave her a little tap to get her concentration and then we peed off for the next couple I lost the plot and lost my way

so ended up retiring, shame on me.

Huge learning curve for me to keep calm if something goes wrong and learn the bloody course, one big kick needed up my a**.

At this point dressage is seeming so appealing

At least you've come away with some learning points to work on...

I know what you mean re 'I want to retire to dressage' !! Think we all feel like that sometimes.

Next time will be better!!
 
Oh bad luck :-( Still, she's been so good all year that you can allow her the odd off day ;-)

At least with SJ'ing there's always another day :-)
 
such is the woberful world of SJ. On the plus side the bad days do make the good days all the better.
If its any consolation I had a frustrating day yesterday as well but I'll do another post about that.
 
Mrs !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not a bad day at all - cant be a superstar everyday ! - it was your first time indoors this season, there was alot in there for her to look at ! I think you did well, we made the right choice in doing sun not sat though !
I raise a glass ( yes its 8.42am !) to going out once a week - lets get a plan together - so much holiday to take !
