So set off at a resonable time today for Stilemans, got 2mins down the road and the lorry was making funny noises
so we turned around in Asda's went back to the yard for the yard owner to have a look around it, apparently it was just something in the fan, where it was so windy last night something had blown up
So load Dext again and off we go, little did I know that multimap AND AA route finder was to send up in completeley the wrong direction off the A3!! Cue MEGA stress going miles and miles out of our way missing my dressage! And hitting a road that had a 10ft bring!
(we dont do things by half!
) So I had to see mum back and reverse all the way up the road to turn around - we very nearly went home!! But phoned someone who said where to head which we did and we found our way eventually!!
So ran over to secretarys office and they managed to move my dressage - Thank you to them!
So now stop stressing and get him ready! Now bering in mind this is the pny who has been being placed BD, gained 5 points recently and I have been riding him in spurs WELL ot tpday! I had to take them off quick a pony bolted passed us and he could hear the water jump and was a little lively!!
Anyway warmed up well after that and did what I thought was a lovely test - he scored 45 !!!
Granted the majority were on 38-42 ish but still was a little annoyed!
Onto SJing - He had obviously realised he could stop a bit after Mondays naughty session with Nigel at Ely as stopped at the cross and the upright but gave him a boot with my spurs and upped the tempo a bit and he was much better but of course rode him a bit forward in teh ring and he b*ggered off in the combo to have 8 faults! (2 down) but was still pleased.
Onto the XC - now I was very very aprehensive about this as I thought Monday he had lost a bit of cofidence, I had to in him and to be honest wasnt expecting anything - as a result wasnt nervous at all and rode him properly and he was super duper!! He was clear and inside the time, so a great confidence boost and a great first outing despite the cr*p start!
Well done if you got this far!!! Have a Lucy Thompson SJ lesson next week to brush up on that then Grt Witchingham OPN - cant wait! It was very nice to be out there again today
