Took Inka to our local comp yard as they had baby unaff today. I have never competed there which is stupid as it is only 10mins up the road.
We did the clear round at 1ft6 to start. I had no idea how she would react to jumping indoors and the different coloured jumps and fillers. There was only me and a lady on another youngster there at this point.
We had a good look at the yellow stripey filler and the brush filler but didn't stop but knocked a few down as they were too small to bother with.
I then decided to do the 2ft class, to give her something more to think about.
There was 6 of us in total so nice and quiet for our first time.
Inka didn't no what to make of the loud speaker, she was looking round for the person speaking.
We ended up with 7 faults. The double at 3 was a little blue wall for part A, Inka went to run out and then cat leaped, I lost my stirrups so there was no way I would of stayed on if I jumped past B, so had a run out. She jumped fine second time. And we had one jump down.
There was 3 through to the jump off so we stayed to watch them and then took her home where she is out naked in the sun.
We would of been 5 if they were placing to 6.
Inka was so calm through out everyone was asking me if she really was a baby.
In all a very good day the only small thing was a little girl and her overly competitive mother. Who told the girl after her jump off that she didn't do 2 of the turns she had told her to do and that would cost her 1st place.
Poor girl could only of been about 6yrs old, she had 2 ponies jumping and got no positive comments at all. She won it anyway without doing silly turns.
