Never done one of these, but have read many and decided the time has come! a bit about us first, my horse is called Harry, he's a 9 y/o, 16.2 warmblood, I've had him a year, last year did pony club teams, a few ODEs and some unaff showjumping, hopefully this year we'll register BS and do some more ODEs! Also we need lots of CC as lacking lots of practice, this was my first show back after all the snow and breaking my arm!
Anyway, we went to Bishop Burton for the schools competition, we entered for the 90cm team, and then the 1m individual. Thankfully we didn't have to wait round for ages apu quickly walked the course, watched a few of the individuals and went to tack up and get ready. Was a really nice course, as they always are there I find, with the second fence, a dog leg with rainbow fillers, catching everyone out. Warmed up quite nicely and forward, jumped a couple then went in. There was only 3 in our team as one went lame, then the other ponies weren't really in the mood so our team was eliminated, but Harry jumped a nice clear except had the first fence down - my fault, should have ridden it a bit more. Then froze to death before the 1m, which we went in a, guess what. As if I hadn't learnt already, first fence down! Very much my fault, got him really deep and just sat doing nothing! Then he went clear from then on, ended up that only one person went clear so they baced placings on the first round times, so we got a fifth! although thats another pink rosette!
Will try and add the vids, lots of CC please, need tips to point my toes in and not sit up so quickly I think! Thanks!!
