Went to Arena UK today and had a great day.
Willough , as always jumped her socks off, finished 12 in the PN (out of 60, just missing qualifing) Floss had 1 down, but was a good positive round.
Both also did the Novice, The lack of 'togetherness' with Floss showed and she got 16 faults but still pleased with her as pretty much first competition at this height.
Willough however was awesome as always.
She and Bee were 3rd to go in the novice and she skipped round with a smile on her face making it all look very easy.
They finished with one of the top style marks of 14 (some of the pros going HC had good marks). They jumped one of only 4 double clears in the time allowed to finish 3rd, out of 60 winning £20 and qualifing for the final in 2 weeks.
So pleased with our little bog pony holding her own amongst some really rather classy eventers.
We shall go to the final as Addington is not too far, only just over an hour.
