Today we went to snowball farm unaffiliated dressage to do the intro A test 
My time (unfortunately) was 8.44am -_- which meant we had to leave at around 8:00-15 mins to get there, 15 mins to warm up. Libby however had other ideas, and decided she should delay things by not going in the trailer, naughty girl! We loaded her eventually and set off at 8.20!
We arrived at about 8.35/8.40, (luckily they were running a bit late!) and warmed up for about ten mins. To start with, there was another horse warming up with us, but they went up to the school, and Libby had a bit of a panic- she didn't even know this horse, or had met them! Bless her! We did our test okay, made a couple of silly mistakes, but she behaved, but the bell scared the pants off both of us!
Loaded up okayish (she worked out if she wanted to go home she'd have to go in the trailer!) and went home
Went back later to collect the scores, we came 8th out of 16, not bad for her 2nd attempt at dressage, rosettes went to seventh, and the person above us had one more point- we were one point off a rosette! How frustrating! Ahh well, rosette or no rosette, i'm very proud of her Sorry, no pictures, had no one to take them and we were literally in and out!
