I Won!

[kirstyfk]

This is not a regular occurrence. It was just a local mini event, where you did a dressage test, then show jumping and straight into the XC.

I was a bit disappointed with my dressage. Tufty can do much better and I messed up both my canters. not sure how they were working it out but I only got 54%, last week I got 63%!

But for the jumping he was absolute star. Some how he managed to keep all th show jumps up. He doesn't see the point of giving the jumps any space. He likes to see how close he can get to them. So although it felt and sounded like he had 6 down he had managed to keep them all up

I have never jumped a cross country on Tufty (He is my dad's horse) and although the first jump was from a stand still we went clear.

So I won a plaque as well as a £10 voucher for a butchers 30 miles from where I live. But I am so please with Scrufty Tufty the Donkey Horse

Here are some hopeless photos my dad took

Please tell me what I am doing????

And how not to do a drop fence!

Well done you look like your both enjoying it. I bet your dad was really proud of you both?

Fantastic you will be on cloud 9 for a bit I bet.

Well done

That looks like a pretty big horsey!!

 

[kirstyfk]

He's not that big. I'm just short

He is 16.2hh but he also has a really deep girth which makes him look bigger than he is.

I think my dad is getting annoyed I keep stealing his horse

Thank you. Yes its Mundole. They have a jumping Derby next week but I think it will be over the same course so planning on going to Burgie to do dressage and showjumping
