Crockstead BSJA

[Hattikins]

Well took Hattie up there to do the British Novice and for somewhere different to jump. The end of the practise arena was a total boating lake which was fantastic as it meant that i could give Hattie plenty of water practise ready for next season!

Anyway, she popped round the clear round and the first round British Novice very sweetly (apart from having to change from roundings on the 2ring gag to one rein) because she was getting rather strong and those poles are so flimsy you only have to breath on them and they fall down so getting long and quick really wasnt an option!

After slight confusion over the J/O course Hattie jumped really nicely and lolloped round all the quick turns as she does! and somehow we WON

Yes ok there wasnt exactly a huge turnout but she was just fantastic!!!!!!

She also has her four double clears now but is about to jump herself out of British Novice

so discovery here we come i suppose!!!

 

[Rambo]

Yay ! Well done....

I was wondering how many people would brave the outdoor warm-up there today...as I was hacking round the woods in the pooring rain. You'll be fine in Disco...and at least you got your 4 DC's before jumping out of class

The weather forecast today......mainly dry......YEAH RIGHT

 

[Hattikins]

their warm up arena was just sooooooooo waterlogged!!! i was amazed - we couldnt believe our luck when we turn down the drive and saw half the arena submerged under 6inches of water!!!!! It was perfect water training for her

and by the end she was canter through the middle of this lake to and from the practise fences

So much for dry weather

 

[Shrimp]

Well done, thats fantastic! She's turning into a little star isnt she?!

 

[lorenababbit]

we were there! saw you jump off when we arrived and the much maligned Harvey that no-one wants to buy was 2nd in the Disc! All the others jumped clear in it to and also the class after so good day even if a bit wet and sloppy in the warm up to say the least!! I was in fairly large conspicuous oakley supremacy did i talk to you when i arrived?

 

[Hattikins]

we really hope so!!!! we just have our fingers xd that she's decided XC is something to be enjoyed and not just endured! then she'll be really good hopefully! but we'll see anything can happen with horses!!!!

 

[Hattikins]

hang on let me think.......were you the one with "4 SALE" clipped on very neatly on his bum???

 

[Hattikins]

hang no if you werent in the BN you cant have

no cant remember ... anyway really well done in the discovery because that was a pretty twisty course and its always a challenge keeping the fences up at crockstead!!!!!

 

[SJ_06]

yay well done!!

 

[Seahorse]

Vicky and another girl from my yard went there today. One of Vicky's horses came 3rd in the Discovery and she was really pleased with her, apart from the fact that prizes only went up to 2nd place

[helenandshadow]

[icestationzebra]

Fantastic! What a clever girl she is

And you too of course

 

[Hattikins]

yup both Hattie and Fiddler could do the PN but im much happier jumping them at intro height

 

[helenandshadow]

are you taking fiddly too?

 

[Hattikins]

yup they are both going if Fiddler jumps ok this weekend (we'll probs just pop him over something at home) then we'll take him to RL and just do the clear round or something to make sure he's happy and take it from there

 

[helenandshadow]

aww fingers xd he jumps ok, i'm sure he will!!

will look forward to seeing him at grasshoppers if all goes well, and hattie of course!
