We haven't posted many show reports lately....mainly because we haven't been to many shows recently

Anyway, after 5 weeks of chilling....two completely in the field as we were away on holiday...Bo and Trike were scheduled to return to action at Edenbridge & Oxted Show today. Things didn't go quite to plan as Trike sustained a minor injury while we were away which became infected and so he spent the second week of his two week holiday on box rest and only got ridden for the first time on sunday. So, off we went with Bo to jump the 1m Open, there being nothing else he was eligible for today and also because he's had a few issues with the ground this year

The course was straight forward enough and he warmed up really well. We went in towards the end and he jumped a super double clear.....and we ended up 6th out of about 38 starters

It wasn't as flowing as it could have been hence the slow'ish time in the JO, but it was a definite step in the right direction and a good omen for the Am second rounds which start in 2 weeks time !

The journey home was a little more entertaining than it should have been however when yours truly managed to run out of diesel on a blind bend coming out of Forest Row....Ooops

Well done! Hope this is a good omen for things to come. (And I'm glad my OH isn't the only one to run out of diesel

- hope you got home OK!)
 
LOL!

The recovery truck arrived fairly quickly (within the hour) so we weren't too late home...

Here are a few piccies OH took...

Almost jumping the last fence !

Glad Bo went well. Hope you weren't delayed too long waiting for fuel and presume you needed system bled. You won't do that again in a hurry.

Apparently our lorry has a self-priming something or other so it just sorts itself out....rather fortunately

Well done. I was pretty sure it was you (I was standing by the entrance to the ring in jeans and an orange vest) but had a shy moment and didn't want to come over and say hello!

I thought you jumped a very nice round.

And I see the rosettes are much nicer than when I got one there some years ago!
 
Aw thanks

Yep, the rossies were top quality actually......didn't see any prize money though so don't if they send that on later or what

Not that i'll be able to retire on £12
