You may be aware that I have been having something of a confidence crisis with George of late, well today Quarrybank kindly offered to take me to Hastingwood to do stressage so I went
Quarrybank definately gets an award for giving excellent calming and motivational advice and having the patience of a saint - especially with me going 'I can't do it, I can't canter' and so on
Well, we did the walk and trot test first which we had to do h/c because we'd been in a prelim test before and got a credible 60% and some nice comments. I then went into the prelim and was going to trot the canter movements, but at the last moment thought s*d it and we did it - we left the arena at one point but managed to sort ourselves out and got 55% 'nice horse, some nice moments, quietly ridden' and came 5th out of 12
sorry this is a bit self indulgent but this is such a big deal for me at the moment.
Anyway a few pics:
I look like michelin woman because I had my body protector on under my jacket
