I had a plane coming into land right in front of my chap and the judge commented " A little inattentive"!!!!!!!

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!a plane......That is toooooooo much!!!LOL!!

haha, that's brilliant. the worst i've had to cope with was the girl in the next door arena getting bucked off and her horse galloping across my arena. really helped with the elevation, put it that way...

"I had a plane coming into land right in front of my chap and the judge commented " A little inattentive"!!!!!!! "

I had that once too at a Stoneleigh final - the plane put the whole arena in shadow it was so low - and got "need to work on your partnership" - my poor horse was so freaked he didn't settle for the whole of the test - you can imagine the marks!

The next test we got placed by a different judge and got "a harmonious test". I thought the 1st judge would have been a little more understanding and just put "unsettled" or something.

I had a team of 4 gelderlanders and a carriage come flying out of the woods at Windsor Park (when they did dressage)! Needless to say we had the best elevation ever!!!!!
