Fitz's Sheepgate Premier League report

[madhector]

Very busy weekend for us! Started on friday, we took Fitz to manor farm for our second lesson with David Hunt, so so good. The man is a genius. Very very excited to be able to train regularly with him.

Then on saturday we ended up with another pony, thanks to a spur of the moment trip to an auction (see other post!)

Today it was off to sheepgate premier league for the Shearwater international 5 yr old class. He was such a pro, travelled all the way up there quiet as a mouse, warmed up like a 10yr old and didnt put a foot wrong in the ring. Hannah Moody was there to yell encouraging things at us in the warm up which was fantastic.

Huge classes, and was thrilled to find he finished 11th out of nearly 40 very classy horses. Just need to get a little more control in the canter and he will be amazing.

Great stuff, he is looking fab too. I can't remember, did you have him gelded? Cannot keep up with the different YH classes either, is this one like a hoswing class or a real dressage test?

 

[tigers_eye]

showing, not hoswing!

He is looking fantastic, what a great result - and how amazing to train with David Hunt

 

[Booboos]

He is just super, very exciting to see him progress! Well done!

 

[madhector]

Yep, had him gelded last year, made life a lot easier, didn't really make sense to keep him entire when his sire is just down the road

What she doesnt mention is that her group of 3 (and tbh all the other grps of 3) included well known pro riders!

Yep Bloody amazing. Still very much under construction, but the indoor will be massive and you can kind of see the outdoor in the pics - huge with a massive barrier along 2 sides.
