Some of you may remember my posts worrying about the ODE, so heres how it went -
Wanted to be a yard at 7am but ended up getting there at 7.30 so was rushing round as was being picked up at 8am but i think this took my mind off being nervous.
Got there and was debating whether to give him the calmer or not, decided against and he warmed up really well, didn't do much canter as didn't want him to get wound up.
Dressage, got 34% - I thought we did a really good test for us as it wasn't rushed and was in control but... most of my comments said could have been more forward, so have gone too much the other way now.
SJ - Was a tight course as was in the outdoor school due to the ground, but we went clear which was good as he has been having silly run outs recently.
XC - Time to do it in was 3.58 and i did it in 3.33, jumped every thing 1st time even the brush/hedge fence which he doesn't usually like and i wasn't being pulled round.
Mum took videos of the dressage and sj (which currently wont upload), the pro photographer took photos of 1 fence on the xc.
