Dressage Last Night (quite a few pics)

[Governor]

Just a very quick report and probably boring on our little dressage outing last night. It was just a riding club competition (BD judge) but G hasn't been out for almost two years

for various reasons and I knew it would be quieter than going straight out at BD again.

Anyway i'm chuffed to bits with him. He loaded quickly when we left, got off and stood patiently tied up at the lorry, warmed up ok (despite the muppet in there with us). To be honest I couldn't have given a flip how the tests went but he got 69% in P18 and 60% in N36 (little bit of spook and we didn't really nail the mediums)...he came second in both classes

.

We had some lovely comments 'Simply a super horse! Correct head carriage with suppleness of frame' and 'Lots to like here' and 8's and a 9 for his canter. We had a bit of a run in with the low rope marker in the arena (he stepped on it and scared himself for a couple of strides) and the comment 'Small disturbance, touched arena furniture' cracked me up a bit.

He then walked straight onto the lorry to go home.

A couple of photos my dad took -

From Dani's camera -

And sniffing out the ladies...

Thanks to driver Dad (and secretly brilliant photographer...who knew?!) and chief banana-feeder/photo taker/horse holder Dani (Joya).

Well done - he looks super. I especially love his head and face - lovely

And great marks. Now can I please borrow your good vibes - taking my hothead out to do two prelims on Sunday (Unaff at BD event)

 

[Joya]

You were both brilliant yesterday, well done

Well done, he looks lovely

Am I right in thinking you were at Woodlands? I used to compete there quite a lot years ago and was always worried that we were going to get tangled up in the string/rope down the side of the arena

We never did, but it was always in the back of my mind!!
