Comp Report: New Lad and D1

[MrsMozart]

It was the lad's first competition . D1 has done a few, but it was her first one with him.

He's an ex-racer. Had a few issues. Had to learn that the world is a good place to be, which he has, beautifully . Just started to work nicely in the school, and when he gets going really has paces to die for . The judge called him 'elegant', which he is indeed . He was a tad on the quiet side and not as off the leg as usual, but far better to be chilled like that than whizzing off like a whizzy thing

The test was Prelim 1. No idea where they came, not placed, but they had just such an excellent time the score is academic

He was an absolute poppet . Loaded well, travelled well, didn't stress when the Dizzy one went away, loaded brilliantly for the trip home.

Onwards and onwards with the New Lad (not so new now, but I like the name ).

Well done, D2! They do cut a good figure together, if I may say so!

And well done, too, to you, MrsM.

I did see your post yesterday about yours and the Dizzy one's foray into competition land. Sadly, as I must have just about the world's worst internet connection, my reply to your post was lost in cyber space........

Gosh she does look like you from the side!

And congrats to her on the calmness

Lovely pics - they look great together, CONGRATULATIONS to both. x

 

[MrsMozart]

Thank you

And very sorry, I put D2 when it should have been D1 (I've changed it now). Y'just can't get the mothers these days.... .

Yes, poor lass, looks very much like me - or rather, very much like I did a zillion years ago

He was beautifully calm . Had a bit of a spook at the flapping haylage bale covers (just outside the arena), but this is the horse that hacks out with big, big wagons going past him only a few feet away and doesn't turn a hair


Thank you . The Dizzy one did do grand

 

[Native Speaker]

Gah! Feel such a fool!

*note to self: It's D1, not D2, you ejit!! *

(Aformentioned naff internet connect won't let me edit my own posts, so have so do it this way! )

 

[MrsMozart]

No! Not a fool . 'Tis me being a dingbat and getting daughters 'names' mixed up (good job I only have two of them lol).

 

[muddygreymare]

He's lovely, they look great together Lets hope you have more posts like this in the future, they look like they'll go far

 

[MrsMozart]

Thank you

Poor Friend won't be getting her horse back lol

 

[Pearlsasinger]

Well done to both of them. He does look lovely. I always think that the most important thing is they behave well in their first outings. World beating can come later, lol!

 

[MrsMozart]

Lol, you are so very right . Today, stay in the arena; tomorrow, the world!



Oh, and as a total aside lass, my Equilibrium magnetic back pad has arrived! . They've changed the shape slightly, hence having to wait, but it's here now and I get to try it on the neds this afternoon
