Blenheim CCI*** what a week... (now with pictures)

[Rosiefan]

What a fabulous achievement - b****y well done both of you

 

[TableDancer]

Absolutely fabulous - a really fantastic achievement! Very well done to you and Ernie

 

[Alibear]

Wooo well done to the pair of you. Really hope we get to see some XC photo's please.
Sounds like the new top hat was a timely award to.

 

[langside]

What a fab achievement well done and what a lovely prize to get too

 

[carthorse]

Great report . I bet you get a better mark next time in the dressage now you have a super Patey hat,lol.

 

[KatB]

Fantastic! A double clear at 3* is pretty impressive!!!! and qualification for 4* is seriously exciting... a HUGE well done

 

[Saints_fan88]

Congratulations!!! Sounds like you had an awesome time, fantastic result!

 

[Eventerlad15]

Well done-huge achievemnet, you muat be buzzing!

 

[ColouredFan]

Fantastic result and a Patey hat must have finished the trip superbly for you, really well done!

 

[tigers_eye]

Brilliant result Claire, sounds like the longer courses really suit him. I think you should aim for the same prize at Badminton next year (and best 1st-timer too, why not?). Is he off on holiday now?

 

[Puppy]

Wahooooooooo!! Absolutely fantastic

Well done

xx

 

[Booboos]

Well done!!! What a super result and great prize!!

 

[MissDeMeena]

He is indeed now off on a holiday...
To win the most improved after dressage, you generally have to do a dressage in the 60's as they seem to be the ones that manage to climb the most places.. doing a dressage in the 60's at 4* level might be a bit much!!

V, i had to mention it, as a) you made me do the same, and b) it really brought it home to me, what we'd done!!

Forgot to mention, i was also asked for my autograph

[MissDeMeena]

i'm famous (for 5 mins haha)

 

[kerilli]

congrats on a fantastic double clear, it sounds as if you did a mega job xc. really looking fwd to seeing you at Badminton! very nice to get Patey prize, wow.

Sula asked me to say how proud she is of you and that she loves Ernie even more now. It must have been fab especially to do a double clear again!!! and at last a Patey hat .....! May some to watch on Thursday - hopefully see you then.

 

[Maloo]

Claire - just think how far you have come since you first took over Ernie - there should be no more doubting of your own ability - because YOU DID IT - a DC at 3* is no mean feat - and you have to take some of the credit for it - its not all down to Ernie - he has to have a good pilot after all

!!!!!

I did sneak a pic of you when you took him out for a leg stretch fri evening (was waiting in the car for B to appear after some retail therapy!) will try and post it later.

So can I be your official photographer at Badders next year

!!!???

 

[sunflower]

Congratulations! I think these are some of the photos I took of you (I hope they're you and I hope you don't mind me posting them)

 

[BBs]

Wondful pictures

Hey that hat dont look so bad

 

[MissDeMeena]

Helen, i'm on at a stupidly early time of 8:00 on Thurs, if you're that keen, i'll see you then

Maloo, you should have come and said hi

did she buy anything nice?

(looking forward to seeing the pic, although it was probably mum with him, as i think she did most the grass/leading out duties)

DrSunflower.. I love them, they are all great! but i esp. love the first dressage one, he face looks so cute and like he's trying really hard to be a good boy..
The XC one in the water, you wouldn't believe that it was nearer the end of the course, he face is still so keen looking..
I also love the SJing one with the house in the backround!!
Thankyou very much for taking them!!!

Come say hi next time

Will be interesting to try the Patey on.. seems i have a very odd shaped head, being very long and narrow!!! The top hat i have is very circle shaped, hence it doesn't fit and it gives me a head ache.. doesn't look too bad tho, i agree

 

[BBs]

What you doing at Aldon? are you competing or just picking up the hat?
Its 3 years ago since the 3DE there...Same weekend I picked up Snoop.

Its gone so fast.

 

[MissDeMeena]

Well, i was just going to go to pick up/try on the hat.. now there's talk of doing the PN3day with Orla... fancy it again? for old times sake haha

 

[lizzieb]

Fantastic result. Ernie definitely deserves his holiday

Roll on Badminton!

 

[Chumsmum]

Fantastic result - well done!!

 

[sydney]

Wow well done!!! Would love an ass like yours!

 

[TableDancer]

Come on BBs and MdM come to Aldon it'll be a blast

T and S in the PN3Day so I'm stuck there so Turbo'll be doing 1*/Int/N whatever my finances/whim dictates

 

[MissDeMeena]

Well it's looking like i could well be there.. we just need to talk V into it.. (can i also talk you into platting Orla, since the XC at Barbury i really can't any more!!!!!) So you're needed V!!!! please please please come

 

[MissDeMeena]

Just thought, can i wear my new top hat for the dressage

maybe not

Guess i'll just have to wait till next year.
