Today we toddled off to Aston le Walls for an unaffiliated ODE over the BE90 course.
Dressage was a bit 'meh' so was pleased to end up with a very generous 36. The arenas were literally 6 inches apart and my arena was along side the main route for the fences judges to get onto the course so a couple of times whilst trotting or cantering up the long side I was eye balling a bewildered driver or two
The SJ was a nice up to height course. When I got to the warm up there was only two of us in there - couldn't believe it, result Charged round pretending that I could stop if I wanted . Went in and rode like a knob to the last which duly plunged to the floor - plus side - no time penalties
XC, a few questions but nothing that worried me (too much) Decided not to wear spurs. Went round clear just 4 seconds off the optimum time. I went round in 4.16, time was 4.20
I would advise at this point if you intend to watch the video to turn off all sound For some bizarre reason I say 'hup' at least 3 times 'Steady' about 700 times. Make all sorts of weird noises and sound very butch when I tell her she's a good girl
Ended up with a score of 40 so didn't hang around as wouldn't of got placed. I like nice round numbers
Enjoy
Aiming to do a BE100 by the end of the season as she found it quite easy jmuping wise. Dressage is normally good but changed bits on instructors recommendation last week so we're both still getting used to it
