First affiliated dressage report!

[Worried1]

Well today was 'D' Day for Diva and I! We went to our first affiliated BD at Speedgate and...
I won Prelim 17 which was a qualifier with 66.7% and was third in Prelim 16

I am so pleased with her - we had a few hiccups shortly after we bought her in November and I seriously considered selling her but my OH convinced me she was the right horse and to persevere; with his help I am pleased to say it definately paid off!
The judges comments were really encouraging and I can honestly say I let Diva down by not being accurate which cost us a couple of marks.

Hey very well done - on your first outing too.

well done - is always lovely when it works. It's also such a morale boost to know that it's all your own work. Congratulations

Well done, thats really good. I would be grinning from ear to ear after that.

Shame the second test was a 3rd, if it had been a 2nd (and over 65%) you would have qualified for the Regionals at your first dressage and how cool would that have been?
