Dressage report: proud mummy report on home bred horse

[JANANI]

My little baby horse had her third dressage competition at the weekend. I bred her myself out of my ish mare so after five years of waiting it was her second affiliated outing. Unfortunately I wasn't riding her as I am expecting. She appeared a bit intimidated in the warm up and nearly got mown down by a big horse but was perfectly behaved. She went into her first test and did a good solid test with a few baby mistakes in canter. My friend then did the second test with her which was better than the first. I think she preferred the bigger arena even though she is ickle.

We put her into the lorry and waited for the results. She got a high 60 score in the first and got 8's for her paces which I was chuffed about. My friend was chuffed with 8 for her riding . She ended up being placed sitting below a couple of more established horses.

Even though the second test was a better test she got low 60s again in the top third but not placed.

So overall it was a great day and she got a couple of days off with a super chuffed mummy. Can't wait to get out on her this summer.

Well done, sounds like she will go from strength to strength. You must be a very proud mum

Must be so lovely to have a homebred come right through to ready for a competition. Well done on putting all the work in

Super scores and how nice to see grow up from day one and doing well.

well done!
Good scores and sympathies for warm up - at least Bill is used to other horses, must be a nightmare on a baby!
