A new turbo-charged Blitz (thanks to racehorse cubes
) went to Cobham to do the two elementaries on Sunday.
A lucklustre Blitz at the Addington Semis means that OH tried some new tactics in an effort to replicate what we get at home.
He was a very good boy and won the first test overall with 68.6%, however he was riding for a client as well so didn't get the the warm-up time he needed to really present him at his best.
So he had much longer for the qualifier and did a truly lovely test, just spoilt by a couple of dog walkers on the footpath, which meant Blitz would rather gawp at them than do a rein back
However still good enough to get 70% with a decent handful of 8s and lovely comments from the judge who even came and spoke to us about how lovely he was. As a judge she firm yet fair so it was good to crack the 70% mark.
So Puff is qualified at Novice and Elementary - a very happy Team Worried
