Can't believe that this was our last event of the season already, seems like no time since we were getting stuck in the mud and the snow of Tyrella!
Dressage was not as smooth as it can be with Flynn, probably due to my sleeping in, and then running late all morning, we only had 15 minutes or so to warm up. Flynn is one of those sorts who takes his time to settle and have a look around before he really works well, so we scored 36, which is probably one of the lower marks we've had this year, but sill left us 5th going into SJ.
Show Jumping... i think the less said about this, the better... it just wasn't our day...
Although then the fun part came, and after SJ our propect of a placing was no longer in exsistence, so we really could just go out and enjoy it. It was a long twisting course, with a time allowed of 6m44sec, but I have to say it was far and away the nicest course we have jumped all year. The organisers really put a huge effort into the presentation adn dressing of the course, which hopefully should come out in the headcam. So we sailed around clear, probably a bit too fast though, coming home 30 seconds under the time.
Plans will now be for him to have a 4 week break (and me to get some sun!!) and then come in and work on out Showjumping over the winter.

And just one post dressage, as i think he looks nice...
