Just eating my dinner and been in about half hour!! I am shattered after a 5am start today as we wasnt sure what the traffic would be like in a weekday!
So went and look at the showjumping, some spreads looked quite up to height (certainly Spiders biggest course to date!!) And looked very bright, then on to cross country, no 1,2,3 were up to height and wasnt ideal with Spidey setting off a bit wobbly lately!! Especially no 3 (gun cartridges BRIGHT red and gold!
) Anyway the rest looked fine.
Warmed up for dressage and she went really well scoring a very good 35.5
On to Macs dressage - he was ok to warm up bit in attentive, anyway his test wasnt that nce a bt like the one he did at Grt witch, but he got 33 at Grt witch and 45 today!!b
b
Was pretty shocked as it didnt deserve that!! But oh well.
Couple of hrs to wait thenon to SJing, Spider warmed up lovely and went in a jumped her socks off!!! Just have one pole and an oxer when mummy asked her to take an impossible long stride!
was very pleased.
On to Macs SJing, he was good until the double which was quite spooky, he backed off and had both parts down!!
again in shock!! (he is a grade A!) And shouldnt be looking at things like that.
So on to XC and was quite nervous as was Spiders 1st proper PN and she has been a bit spooky lately! So set off nicely, popped no 1, and no 2, then had a good look and stopped at no 3, could prob of done it from standstill but want her to have confidence, so cirlced she popped it and off we went, cleared 4 and 5, then came no 6 and she heard a child in the park on teh right and I had a hesitation at that, off straight down teh steps, over the W fence straight up the steps and off over the log and the log double, there was then a new fence I think where the PN jumped to the right (bit of a dodgy line) of a complex, she jumped that lovely then through the water and home, and clearing the big ditch and palisade lovely!!! I have 2 excellent pics I will post. So was CHUFFED!! She still isnt 5 until next month and tried her heart out today!! Very pleased.
Then on to mac XC, who was a little naughty and had a dirty stop at no 4 - very strange.
But was clear round the rest
So have decided not to buy Mac after all as he wasnt very comfortable XC today and got deep to everything!! So he will probably go next week
someone is going to try him for YR Sjing and I will get something else to event and bring on and sell which will be nice. I get so much satisfaction from bringing on the youngsters
So although scores dont look great on paper
Was so pleased with Spider - love her to bits!!
