Went to Morton Morrell today and as soon as we arrive the lovely Bbs
said 'Hello, who have you bought' Well as if we would show ourselves up by bring Penfold.
LOL
Rafi warmed up really well but then started to try too hard and kept going from walk to canter instead of trot,
but he started to relax again luckily before his turn.
He looked lovely around the outside of the arena and the horn sounded but as he came in straight to enter he took a sudden dislike to A and needed 3 attempts to enter
. One trot/walk/trot movement was a bit late but overall a very nice test.
He was untacked but then realised they were running alittle ahead of time
so quick retack and warm up again for music. He was last to go.It went beautifully, they could do the transitions perfectly on the music and it just looked amazing.
She was so pleased with him and even his medium trots were starting to come.
Scores
qualifier 70.4%, won the restricted and 2nd overall [open got 70.8%]That is his 2nd win so he qual.
Music 73.3% equal 1st overall with Paul Friday[ of course he is open, we were restricted]next years qual. out the way
He has no more dressage until the BD champs but need to jump him as he is also in comb. training there.
So pleased, it was a judge training day and FinnMcCoul was training for the music and was really nice to us, she said she gave him a 9 for interp. music and another friend said they gave him 9.5, well the judge did give him an 8 and a 9 for halts.
Clever Rafi, looking forward to champs
