We arrived very late as tom tom said 1 hour so allowed 1hr 30 mins but it took 2 hours. So just time to declare get on and go straight in.Amazed he did a really nice test ,got six eights and only 27.5 penalties.
Walked the course thought the showjumping was full height and the first half of the xc was quite big and hilly.
Had to wait 3hours until showjumping and it was hot and humid but what a lovely place and loads of beautiful trees.
Baby went to sleep so mum had to wait at lorry and I went off to jump by myself, again he was lovely and went clear. Quick trip back to get changed and wash down and off to the xc .Baby had woken up so mum could watch me and he flew around 16 seconds under time.

So finished on dressage score of 27.5 unfortunatly a super star was in my section who got 19 and won best dressage of the day so we were 2nd. Won £63 which was a nice surprise ,my section was sponsored by the photographer so went and bought a nice picture.
Just got home , only one bad thing he had a slight nose bleed when we got home only enough to leave blood in one nostril but hope he is ok!
 
Very very well done, it was nice to meet you briefly! The horse that won was only on its third ever outing, and has won both other times too - ordinarily your score would have been more than enough for a win, isn't it always the way?!
 
Well done

Chris seems to have that entered into the PN at Salperton I would presume that will have to go OPN now or HC
 
Thank you ,I wish I had met you BBs. I don't know your name so I wasn't able to come over to you to say hello. Thank you spotted cat it was nice to meet you and hope to meet you again. In our last 3 events we have been 2nd. Broadway regional, Stoneleigh 2 day and today, Chris King must have done a brilliant dressage to get that score. Have a bit of a break now but he has a busy July/Aug with riding club and services team commitments and of course the grass route championships. So glad we started to event him
 
Well done to you super star. its great to see all the work you put in reaping just deserts!
See you soon. X
