Favourite competition picture of 2009.....

I'll leave Fugly out of this as I think (hope!) that his best photos are yet to come.

Here's Carthorse attempting dressage at Chatsworth:

I'm cheating on the dressage one as it's from 2008. But I love the fact I'm still smiling despite all the mud and rain at Blair. I was soaked to the skin and had just done a really pants test.

Roll on 2010!!!
 
Here’s mine, not an Eventer yet I’m afraid but:
Mine and Bodey’s first 2ft6-2ft9 Hunter Trial, but that you can tell from this photo, but what you can’t see is this is actually going down hill. And plus I like it.

And dressage, the best our mediums got this year, but they will get better next year, well I hope. We did pretty well at Novice though.

Aintree BSJA British Novice in July. Chilli proved that day that, even though his racing days are over, he still loves the racecourse

A rare dressage picture. I only bothered doing this class 'cos it was at the yard he's stabled on so no real effort required to get there. It was our first Novice & we were pants but we were happy!

Well, 2009 has been an absolutely awful year with me injured for the first half and then horses doing daft things to themselves intermittently. However, when we did get out and about, we had great success.

Fav pic of Alfred is probably this one at Burgie in June. We came 2nd in the taster 3DE (same score as winner, but split seconds to optimum time separated us)

But then my baby did a few competitions this year when time allowed and has taken to dressage like a duck to water. Here she is doing the Area 1 dressage in July and winning her first ever rosette (despite the fact there's something far more interesting to look at during the halt!!).

DR: All are of warm up as my Mum normally videos my test... I like this one because it's a lovely hot sunny day and we look nice and chilled and the other one I like is in my sig

SJ: Haven't actually got many but this is of Mount Ballan Intro, the biggest SJ track she's tackled hence not looking particularly stylish and the ground was rather greasy

XC: Too many to choose from, but this is from my first ODE with the beast

Arena Hunter Trial:

XC. We have never got round before ie to the end without elimination
blush.gif
, we had a couple of stops, one at this (the second, getting over the first took me by surprise!) but made it to the end so I bought a pic. Then I broke my arm but another hho member took him round a couple of hunter trials for me to build on this and after a slight disagreement at the first he went round clear the second time!
grin.gif
I got a fab pic from that too which is my current favourite even though it isnt me! so roll on ODE 2010

After some shockingly awful tests finally managed to crack a Novice and win an Unaffilliated Championship!

Typical it was the only show where I didn't have my camera so these are off my phone...
