First show of the year - not an all-out disaster

We had a pretty good outing this morning! The canter strike-offs were horrendously wrong, which is very frustrating as they are supposed to be our strong point, and we got a very expressive 'change' during the first serpentine. So three 4s on the test, but balanced out by five 7s: one for the trot 10m circle right, one for the medium canter, one for the extended walk, one for a simple change, and (crazily) one for the last halt. Seriously, CL halts are normally fairly drunken affairs for us.

I ended up with 60.96, which is our best score to date for Elementary. So I'm super happy. Much to work on, but so much better than the first few shows. I am so tense with the sitting trot when I get before the judge. I lose my stirrups constantly, grippy knees, haywire legs in general. But now it's just practice practice practice.
