Hi, We decided to go to Weston Lawns on Sunday and after the last couple of indoor shows with runouts

we decided no more indoor this season. We turned up at 11am, as on the website it said that class was not before 11. Well mine was more like 12.30. We jumped in the 90cm and just had a pole down so better than the last couple of shows.
Then we were entered into the British Novice. There were 12 fences and when I asked someone if it was 2 phase they said that it was single phase. I got mixed up and thought that it was another name for A7

So went in and jumped a lovely double clear, allbeit went at a forward show jumping canter, not cutting in anywhere. Friend never told me it was a JO too. But well chuffed with DC.
It is quite a good idea to get you to jump the first 6 fences at BN height and then the timed 6 fences, (whether clear or not) at the Discovery height. I was estatic with her, she jumped perfectly and the doubles were spot on.

Extra carrots for tea.
We were kna**ered tho as it was a long day. Left yard at 9.45am got back at 4.15pm.
To top it all off, she was a little fidgety on the way home, and when we got back, we realised that the rubber had folded over and she had managed to stand on it but had slipped a couple of times on the plastic floor but only about 6-8inches long as the other rubber had stopped her feet slipping any further. I think this happened because I didn`t put any new shavings in and she wee`d twice and poo`d about 4 times. I am thinking of getting one of those CCTV that you can take out with you and still watch your horse.
But we still enjoyed the day. A much better start to the outdoor shows.

I would have seen you jump, I sat and watched the entire BN class!
Well done though, no wonder your chuffed

Are you there again this Sunday?
 
I was 6th in and I cantered round for about 2 circles before I started as I was waiting for the whistle thing but it had already gone.

And when we finished our round, I punched into the air to celebrate.
Had her back done today so I don`t think that we are going next week. May go for a ride over as I would like to see the pictures that were taken, and friend is taking 3 horses in the BN, Dis and New.
Were you jumping or on a day out watching?
 
Aw lesles!

* gives stabding ovation * well done to you i know how much things have been slipping away so i smiled from ear to ear reading that.

That forward canter i think has been the key, whilst it feels forward roxy is a big baby girl so will be slower than it actually feels.

Im so very pleased for you! Can you pm me the link to the new video you have on PB pretty please?.

I must catch up soon i went xc schooling sat and had a fabby time without a single runout! Even leaping off big tables hehe- although i VERY nearly came a cropper when peli tripped up the step at the water and had recover intime to jump a log.
 
Well done indeed. Sounds like you're on a roll now, good that she was going forward again and didn't think of any runouts..
