I took Robbie to Keysoe today for the BN and Disco.
With it being half term there were loads there for a change!
First the BN and was near last to go. It was 2 phase.
We spooked our way round 1 to 8 and as he has his double clears now ( and he was annoying me with the spooking!)
i decided to push on a little more in the jump off than i would normally and we left them all up for a DC!
I didnt hear my time - and had spoken to my dad who said they were 'flying' around so didnt tink i would get placed
As there were only 2 left to jump i decided to hang around on the off chance i was placed - and nearly fainted when i heard i was 2nd!!!
Clever pony!!!
Then the Disco - 2 phase again- which had a really naf turn from 4 to 5.
4 was a double 3 strides out the corner and had spooky fillers under both parts which caused a few spooks and you had to really ride it - which then left you having to yank back up to make fence 5, a oxer on a right hand dog leg but it was the most triangular dog leg i have ever seen!!
So in i went on Mr Robbie Trouble - and i needed one more double clear so i went nice and steady round the first phase and pressed the gas a small amount in the jump off as some of the fences where quite big ( i thought so anyway!)
I was delighted to get my last double clear - and even more so that i was placed 6th too!!
off to have a glass of wine to celebrate!
Did any one else go??
