So Lib hadn't been to a show in exactly 2 months today, but we decided to go to wokingham dressage 
It was her first ever time on the motorway today! (': Good as gold travelling We arrived an hour early (unusual-we are usually late!) so she had time to settle down, however, took her for a walk and she was being very full of herself and strong-the spring grass has obviously got the better of her, AND she was in 5-year-old-mode -.- It was raining, but tacked up anyhow and went off to warm up. I had 40 mins till my test, and we usually warm up for 10 (she hardly needs anything or gets bored) so i just walked around and trotted etc. It was a HUGE warm up arena, and was quite busy, so she did get very excited and just could not relax :/ Anyway, went into the field where the tests were done, (there was an arena laid out and the test was on grass) went to walk around the outside, and she did a little buck/hump thing. Weird, she's never done it before, so told her off, and prepared to go in (of course at this point, I was not expecting a great test!) The bell went and as soon as I got into the arena, bam, a nice, soft, relaxed pony? She was really going forward, and came into self carriage every now and then. She kept shaking her head as it was raining and her mane was soaking, and i had to keep getting my reins out the way as they kept getting tangled -.- came out feeling happy with her, but was not expecting anything as there was about 12 entries, and they were mostly thoroughbred types, and there i was on my trusty little fell Went to collect scores, and i had won?! With 76.09%?! Ahaa, absolutely amazed, and so proud of the libster Didnt get any pictures and dad started videoing halfway through the test bless him -.- so no piccies unfortunately, but a happy pony and a very proud person
Well done for anyone who got to the end- sorry for the essay!
