Hubby had the day off work (for a funeral in the afternoon) so I decided to take the morning off work and we loaded up both the horses and whizzed over to norton heath. My new boy has only been here 2 weeks so was aiming just to pop him round the clear round as havent re registered him yet as he's out of BN so wanted to take my time but half way there we realised we were never gonna make the clear round so refusing to pay for a ticket then register him in a couple weeks i rang BS and they were very helpful and we got him registered there and then ekkk...i havent jumped a disco in over 5yrs but today that was gonna change lol
1st to jump was my mare... she felt good in the warm up and proved me right in the ring when she popped round so sweetly to get our 2nd DC in 2 outings putting us into 4th place however i was 9th to go of 28/29 so wasnt holding out hope of a placing but much to my amazement when i was warming up my boy for the disco (we were 2nd to go) the result was anounced and we were 6th!! over the moon with her def ready to go up to disco and really should have done it yesterday but just didnt have the time due to hubby needing to be back.
Next was the new boys turn, he hasnt been to a show in over 2years and i've only jumped him twice so it was really wasnt sure what was about to happen. Warm up was ok didnt push him as we know he can jump and he isnt fully fit yet but he felt fine so in we went...he was a star, took me round like a pro just a 2 odd stride due to me checking and messing him up lol and a little pole on a dog leg that i should have ridden a bit more forward ubt hey I am over joyed with him.
