Took Juno back to keysoe yesterday.
Popped round the 85cm CR to get the spooks out then in to the BN
Faultless in both phases (2 phase). Didn't push in the jump-off section but still finished second
On to the Disco (A7). She jumped a beautiful first round. I couldn't have been more pleased with her.
The jump-off was fences 8,1,2,3,4 & 5B. 5A & B in the first round was a one stride double against the wall on the long side. They removed Part A for the jump-off but didn't clear it away, just left it stacked against the wall on the approach
Unfortunately Juno now thought this was a monster. She had her eye on it all the way in to 8 so rolled a pole there. 1,2,3,4 all cleared nicely. 5b she was spooking all the way in. We ended up stationary on an angle in front of it. Made her jump it anyway but again rolled the top pole. Shame as she had a very good time. Just her lack of experience showing.
So for the next few weeks all manner of jump material, rugs and whatever else I can lay my hands on will be randomly scattered all over the school.
Her behaviour all day was perfect. Think she's finally chilling out a bit
Now has £93 actual and £41 notional with 2 DC at BN
Talavera and her mum provided some enjoyable company so for once I wasn't billy-no-mates
Off to Moulton College on sunday to see if we can get that 3rd DC in BN and hopefully our first at Disco.
