Aaah you've got inside information!!! Yeah she rode like a star and Louis was a little superstar, I was so happy for her and Katie. Of course I let her win the second test!!!!
Oh ha ha I thought she had told you! She only needed to win the qualifier but won both in the really strong winds it was quite a feat. I only did the E53 and came second, she was a really good girl just had an oops in the rein back (judge lifted paper and she spooked!) and lost balance in right canter and broke on half circle.
...and come on CSYMolly! CSYMolly did a beautiful test and I thought the judge should have given you a higher % personally! She'll qualify very soon, I know it!
I am so so pleased with both Loops and Rach, they have both been working so hard and it's been a long time due to Rachel. Now he's qualified we're going to crack on with some Medium tests (I say "we" but at the moment I'm just the dedicated driver/groom and "team Louis/Rachel" supporter!). I am dieing to get back into the saddle and ride a test again...only 4 and a half months to go...!
I was thinking last night, you should bring Louis to my yard for a play round the x-country, you might even be able to get me to do a few jumps!! We could have a little picnic etc after if I'm still alive!!

That would be great, we'd love to come for a play...well I'll just bring the dog along and we'll spectate together while you guys have a jumpy-jumpy! Let me know when is a good wkend for you and we''ll have to arrange it before the weather gets too cold.
Oh well done to you both Katiejaye and CSYmolly! where did you do your tests? Was it Patchetts or Hastingwood? I bet it is very frustrating not being able to ride, but I am sure it will soon fly bye and you will be onboard again... enjoy the rest whilst you can!!
