Herbie and I had our second go at Dressage on sun.
He loaded like a star and we got to the venu at 8.15am I was on at 9 so went to get my number but there was no one around
We waited for someone to arrive as I had no idea where the warm up was or even if we had parked in the right place. We waited and waited. A horse and rider appeared and asked me what was happening. I said I had no idea. She desided to go into the arena and show her horse the bords and stuff. Suddenly someone appeared who seemed to be incharge and told the woman off for being in the arena. (Typical isn't it we where waiting for someone for ages and the minuet you do something you shouldn't be they appear 
) I went to get my number and by this time it was 8.50. I tacked Herbie up and headed for the arena (so much for warming him up this time ) I took him in and started walking him round. In the bottom left hand corner was a big tank (between the barn and the judges box) it was making a very loud hissing noise. Herbie took an instant dislike to it (add to this the wind and flappy banners attached to the school fence) and he just started running backwards 
I tryed to perswade him to go passed but he wouldn't. The judge rang the bell so I had to give up. I turned him round and headed up to A hoping the hissing tank was far enough away from the arena that it wouldn't upset Herbs during the test.

Some how we got through with only one spook (at M in the walk). I was proud of my little man for not being to naughty and making it through the test
. He was alittle naughty to load but it only took afew minuets to get him in. Then we waited for the results. I watched afew other tests and lots of people were having problems due to the wind. I hoped we may get a placing but wasn't holding my breath.
Anyway you can imagen my supprise when the results were anounced and we got this
I was so proud. I couldn't believe he'd won. He's such a cleaver little man and i'm so proud of what we have both achieved together already.
I love my little pony so very very much.
Thanks for reading. xx
