Well I've lived!!! Never thought I'd see the day I'd do an elementary test!!! Did elem 52 first, (what an awful test!) got 61.88% and came 2nd!

Then Elem 44, I hasten to add, outdoors with wind blowing a gale and absolutely hissing it down with rain! (in fact it was that windy at times I couldn't hear the girl calling the test!) 65.60% 2nd again!!!!

So although absolutely shattered now, am very very pleased!

And the best bit about the day???? Came round the brow of hill to find an RTA which had just happened in front of us.... Other half stopped.... (he in the ambulance service) and started to deal with casualties etc whilst I sorted the traffic!!! Ambulances arrived, then police, then fire engines..... and we were still sorting the traffic.... and my new horse stood on that box for over an hour facing a house heavily decorated in animated christmas lights and loads of blue lights flashing from all the emergency service vehicles, and he didn't do a thing! (Bless him)

So all in all a good day and luckily no one was seriously hurt in the accident.....
 
Wow fantastic result, well done

Wow, what an excellent result, in the awful weather too!! You don't fancy swapping horses do you????? An orange madam that loves to jump, that needs lots of persuasion to do a dressage test????
 
LOL!!! I already have an orange one! Gelding variety who loves dressage!!! And I dont jump! Unless I'm having a really rare mad moment, when the mood takes me!!! And I wouldn't part with the new boy for the world..... Considering we dont know each other, I've only had him a week!!! I am more than pleased with how we went today.... there's lots to polish up.... but all that will come in time!
 
Thats a great result Michelle!
