Belated nationals report!

[jackpalfreyman]

Trudged off to sunny(for once it actually was!) solihull last week for the winter champs on tia for the spillers novice combined training, havng not jumped a course of showjumps for 6 months i was a tad worried how i would cope! Did a sweet dressage test, a bit tense so got tight-but generally accurate and flowing, scored just under 65% to finish just inside the top 10.

Then onto showjumping, i needent have worried as she was a pro! jumped an effortless clear round (one of not very many!) and finished 5th

Had lots of fun in the prize giving

Now registered BE and planned out our season, fingers crossed finishing at weston park cci*, with the new qualifications it could just happen!

How long did we last playing dressage, about 6 months?? Hey ho! i just feel so mean keeping such a talented ponio away from what she loves doing

Oh so youve left the dressage yard and are now going back to eventing!!??
Congrats on the 5th place!

 

[jackpalfreyman]

Nope not left, i love it too much, going to event tia from there if all goes well.

Well done! RE 1* qualification: Those new qualifications are wrong, still need an intermediate/2day to do a cci*

 

[jackpalfreyman]

Oh right, i really musn't belive what stupid friend tells me!

 

[teapot]
