Hi all
Went to BCA today and Saf was a very good girl.
Dressage - warmed up and she felt calm and supple, not my horse
so went in, same test as last week, felt it went well even the walk was better so came out happy.
The heavens then opened and we got soaked to the skin and I put Saf back on the lorry as the waterproof sheet was blowing off and it was thundering
Was so wet struggled to get my jacket back on. Oh had a glass of wine
SJ by now was flooded and decided to warm up see how she coped with the jumps in the warm up and make decision. Warmed up well so went in and they anounced my dressage score as 33.8, my god totally shocked as for Saf that is fantastic. The bell went I jumped fence 1 and the bell went again as fence 2 was still down
I was always told if its down, jump it, but they rebuilt and off I went again. Had one stop as the ground was horrid, I missed her a little had it been dry I'm sure she would have gone, circled around and jumped it fine, so no jumps down and 4 for the stop and 1 time, she was so muddy she looked like she had been XC
Onto the XC, the ground was perfect on the XC totally different to the SJ, had the pelham in again and she let me ride her again, such a great feeling better than S*x
We did all the short routes and it was a total blast, we went clear with only 10.4 time, our best ever time at novice as last year with no brakes always pulling and having from 27 to 54 time
Saf was amazing and another shock to my day, came 10th, my first ever placing at novice
Thanks Saf its all down to you
Sorry no photos, will post the pro ones when they come up and thanks to sarahs who came with me, she did her first PN
Thanks for reading
