Hooray for sunshine very pleasing weekend.
On Saturday we took baby Sassy to her second dressage competition at Eland Lodge, we entered prelim 1 and prelim 18 we didnt realise it was a Ride and Relax regional therefore A LOT there .. anyway she warmed up well and did nice test in prelim 1 still baby moments but happy we got 67.4% and came third out of 38!! So very happy.
She had a little rest and stood like an angel on the lorry.
Got her out and did little warm up for second test went over and different arena which had banners down the side which shes never seen before so very spooky!!! But she then settled and went in and did a nice test, still some places for improvement but overall it felt good wasnt sure how wed fare as more competition in that class and 41 in it anyway to my surprise we got 69.6% and WON! 1st out of 41 in her second time out and shes only really been in proper work for few months.
We won a little trophy!! I am so proud of her and bought some photos cant wait for them to come through! I have both tests on video so will try get them uploaded tomorrow.
We then went xc schooling yesterday she was so good jumped everything babyish at times but just kept popping, just hesitated at water then was jumping in off a step very boldly in no time, had another look at the ditch but again got the hang of it in no time, for her second time seeing xc fences I was over the moon also have video clips so will try get that up too.
She really is becoming a super little mare and selling her is going to be sad so if anyone knows of a good home that is looking for a cracking little mare for dressage/eventing not silly money asked PLEASE PM me as Id prefer her to go to recommended home, but think will have to advertise her soon
but not sure where would be the best place??
Thanks for reading
