Took Lord SJ today and all was well, he traveled up there well and was fabby warming up, then we went in the ring 
Picture in your head bright yellow jumps, solid orange fillers, flowers, Dolphin wings etc........yeah Lord REALLY didn't take to the orange filler so had a refusal but came around again and he jumped it, jumped the next 2 ok if taking the mick a bit and trying his hardest to run out, got to no5 and the not so little ducker swung around ending in me hanging on round his neck ............. gave up trying to get back on and fell/ dismounted (although I am told it looked rather gracefull )
Took him out & jumped a few more fences under the guidance of my YM ( who affirmed what I thought, that he was taking the mick and not being the most helpfull) Went in again HC and he jumped much better (tends to be once he has seen something once he is ok) but had troubles at no 6 (grey fence with solid grey filler) but got him over it in the end.
All was ok even though I felt slightly dispondant and embarrased at my earlier dismount. THEN Lord goes and breaks away from the lorry as a passing trailer had spooked him
So all in all a really cr*ppy day and I'm now sat at home feeling rather down about the day
Choccie & Soco if you got this far & offer hugs

test was horrendous and I 'tapped' her with the stick going up the centre line as she tried to spin out yet again......she did a not very large buck and I fell off!!! very embarrasing, so you have my total sympathy!!
