BD report, and I lost my temper

[Little_Mare]

I'm going to the one at MG, wanted to go to Richmond but my friend has rather inconveniently decided to celebrate her b-day that w/e!

Must say having been elsewhere that venue's not at the top of my list although I will go back. 2 rosettes

- that's really tight! Was it like that for the all classes or just the smaller ones?

 

[Tempi]

I spend most of my time shouting at people in the warmup - as archie has a phobia of horses cantering towards him and tends to freak out - then people have a go at me

I normall just try and stear out of the way all the time, as some people really have no manners when it comes to warming up

 

[_jetset_]

I don't know whether to do a warm up test or not???

That would mean I would be riding three tests that day if I did...

 

[Tempi]

i probably wouldnt do 3tests in a day - i wouldnt even do that many on Blossy. I know Archie would be totally exhausted by the 3rd test if i did!!

 

[_jetset_]

I'll probably just do the two... but in her first time in the arena she is always a prat

 

[Tempi]

just wear her out in the warmup - lots of work long and low in the warmup, then when her head comes up to look in the actual test she will be in the position you want her to be in

How unthoughtful of her.

I think they only gave out 2 rossettes in all the classes. There seems to be less people going everytime. Im running out of places to go now.

 

[not_with_it]

Some people dont seem to have a brain! I tend to spent as little time as possible in the warm up now.

 

[not_with_it]

Im contemplaiting coming up on saturday to watch if I can get the time off work.

 

[Little_Mare]

I'm going to try Middleton Park (they're just starting BD) but that's no good for you as they don't do ele - well not yet anyway! Have you tried Willerby? I like it there but have only been mid-week...

 

[not_with_it]

I wasnt too keen on the working in at Willerby, there were people banging about behind the bushes which scared some of the horses. The judge was mean to me too

I will go back there and try again.
Are you at Middleton next weekend? I thought about going up to watch as I think a freind of mine is going, its not that far from me either.

 

[Little_Mare]

Yes I am, doing one of each (P and N!). Be prepared to have park outside if you're in a car - went to watch a friend at the unaff and it was packed as there's not a lot of space! They're also running unaff at the same time so it could be pretty busy!

 

[not_with_it]

I hate it when venues run 2 at the same time.

 

[_jetset_]

Yey... if you come to watch you can be on the clean up committee when I fall off and make a complete idiot out of myself

I have the air ambulance on stand by

 

[not_with_it]

You wont fall off and you wont make an idiot of yourself!
You will be fine

 

[_jetset_]

You haven't actually seen me yet

Chances are I will go to pieces. I have not been nervous about something for ages, but for some reason the butterflies have not stopped since I put my entry in the post box this morning

 

[not_with_it]

In that case I will have to come just so I can give you a kick up the arse.

[_jetset_]

Could you bring a sneaky brandy with you???

I think I embarrassed my groom.

No you didn't. I didn't see her 2nd attempt at wiping you out just looked up when I heard you shouting LOL! I can't understand how in one of the biggest indoor arenas there is and only you and her in it, she couldn't keep out the way!

I'm still a bit suspicous of the scores though as the winner was quite a bit higher than everyone else who were all within 1-2% of each other - a case of who you know perhaps not what you do???

Anyways, onwards and upwards, you'll be fine for the areas, I can feel it in my water
