Grasshoppers 18/2/07

[Deefa]

Well had a nice day, only spoilt really by one thing at the end

Got there to find i was the only person with an unclipped pony, and only one other pony there, looked like a horse tho - qiute large and very posh!
Waited around for ages as we were nearly last in. Got him tacked up and warmed up outside on the flat then went in for the jump warm up with instructor. Went well and harry jumped fab - no knockdowns. Went into the main ring and Harry was qiute full of himself and was pulling like a train so style went out of the window lol but got a double clear!

Ended up 7th out of qiute alot!

Only thing that got me a little was as i went to find results i stood behind a man (snobby devil) and overheard him sayin 'Did you see that shaggy brown thing come in a minute ago, surprised it even got over the fences'

He didn't know who i was and i didn't say anything at the time. Went for results and when i was presented mine the lady said i should of had the first prize place for the surprise of the day

and the man was behind me so i just happned to say - 'Not bad for a Shaggy brown thing' lol And his face was a picture

Pis up in gallery asap
