Ok guys, Took Tom to our first ever Le Trec competition today.
It was indoor, in a place where we have been before, so we were quite looking forward to it really.
We were the first in
, which was a bit nerve wracking to say the least, so we walked in there looking at all the spooky things before we started.
Tom wondered why i was so nervous as he just took it all in his stride.
1-So we started off with a canter, brill, struck off on the right leg (which makes a change), Then popped a jump
2- trotted through two narrow poles, no probs.
3-Went up to the scarey panda, sat in a trolley, that had to be moved to a chair, I dismounted for this one, as Ted was a bit too low down for my liking, (I don't bend as well as i used to!)
4-Stayed dismounted we had to walk inside an s bend of poles, i mucked this one up as i walked on the outside!
5- Remount, no problem but too slow
6-Stand inside a circle and drop reins, I didn't drop the reins, I don't know why! (lesson learnt for next time!)
7- Gate, Tom's scared for poles, and string and flappy things so we didn't do too good at this one, but what he did i was pleased with, as he got a lot closer than i thought he would.
8-Bending, no probs
9- Backup, no probs
10-Walk fastish, yey we did it
So that's my report, I have never done one before so sorry if it's a bit bitty, but you get the idea.
Thanks for reading, hope the video works
