So today, me and Shiney went Indoor XC. When we got there, there were hardly any people there. So we payed for our classes and just took our time. People finally started coming so we tacked up and started warming up, she was a bit sleepy and very calm, not her usual 'omg we're at a party' self. We did the practice jump a few times and tbh i was actualy quite worried as she wasn't putting much effort in and usualy she pulls me to the jumps, today was sort of 'canter, canter, canter, oh theres a jump there! thorw myself over it as i can't be asked'. So then it was time to walk the course, in my first class 85cm, there were 15 jumps. I actualy remembered them!!!! The first round went lovely, i didnt forget the jumps, had control all the time and pony listened. And we went CLEAR! i was so so so proud of her, yes we weren't the fastest but this was my FIRST EVER clear, so i was sooo proud and happy 
Didn't think i'd get placed but we came 6th out of about 30 people 
My second class, they changed the course and added 2 more so i was stressing a bit that i will forget the new course but again i didnt Pony was a bit more excited this time and pulled slightly, then she decided to take off after no3, usualy i give up and just let her stop on her own, today something changed and i actualy sat up, told her off and pulled. So we had a mini fight in fast canter, she decided to duck out at no4 but i got a bit angry so she got a slap down the shoulder and went over no4 without knocking it down or ducking out, the rest of the round went very very well and overall we went clear again! we came 2nd out of about 15 people I'm soooooooo proud of my little girl and its taken a bit of time to get to this point where we went clear, and we both enjoyed it Here's a few pics
