I went unafflicted jumping today at The Hand, I got there and entered class 7 & 8, which in the schedule were 80cm and 90cm. Not had her long and don't want to rush things etc. Anyway waiting for the course to be built and it's a bit bigger than it should have been and they have changed the classes, so I have actually entered the 90 and 1m class. OK. So we go clear in the 90 and then do the jump off and we win
Prize giving was a bit of a nightmare as Dolly understands how prize givings work - you go into the ring you get given your rosette and polo, they play some music you do your lap of honour. So we go in she stands waiting they start playing music, first beat she is straight into canter because music means time to go. Eventually manage to get her to stand, but obviously I have still got it wrong as Star Wars is playing and she should be off, so she starts stamping her front feet and rears!!
At this point the girl handing out the rosettes decides I should come back without the horse
As soon as she was allowed to do what she wanted though she just ambled round the ring in the slowest trot going
So do the 1m and she goes clear
jump off is a big 1.10 and she goes clear again and we came 3rd
I got my rosette on foot
