Posted some pics in Picture Gallery if you want to have a look. As usual sis on hand and took some really lovely pics - so thank you "David"

Well decided that as my OH has been so patient with Diva and I, the least I could do was let him have a play and see if he could qualify her for the regionals at Novice.
So we set off for Blue Barn and I'm very pleased to say he won both classes

He won the Open Novice 26 with 65.56% and won overall - although it wasn't a qualifying score - but the scores were low across the class.
Then he won the Open Novice 37 qualifier with 68.92% and won overall. She got several 8's and mainly 7's and had the highest collectives in both classes for the day.
Sis is convinced Diva's new diamante browband, which she bought her, is responsible and should now be ragarded as lucky!

She was really well-behaved so currently very proud of the pair of them

I love my pony!
Just a shame I can't ride her as well as he does. Considering buying him a blond wig and a false set of boobies and seeing if anyone spots the dfference when I'm supposed to be riding!

What a super result, well done! I had a look at the photos, love the halt one!

How did hubby find the outdoor surface there? I haven't been for a while but I struggled with it - found it too banked up to get into the corners & there was also a dip just at the point you needed to halt! (G) I had to yank up the handbrake but she still 'landed' on the forehand! Just wondered if it was any better now?
 
Lovely pics. Well done.

We have been to BB recently too - My horse qual for the unaff prelim winter champs (only his second every dressage outing) and was 3rd. Hickstead unaff champs next week.
 
Congratulations.

Had a christening to go to so didn't secretary the show (won't be their next month either) but you can normally find me scoring at the affiliated or unaffiliated dressage at Blue Barn - come and say hello - I don't bite (well often anyway!)
 
Grit, I was thinking of coming again soon, but I'll wait until you're back - wouldn't want to miss you as we have improved a fair bit since you last saw us!

Yeah I know gutted! But I have just swapped one of my prelim entries at Cobham on Sunday for a Novice just to see if OH can squeeze in a win with a qualifying score and get to the regionals.
Freestyler - You can often see me dribbling round a prelim on Diva but to be honest its much more pleasant when OH is on board
