Its been a while since ive posted an update on witch pony -- shes been really up and down with progress....
last update i posted we scored 70% percent on a novice which we were chuffed with.... the two outings after were not great/ awful score wise.... the first we scored 64.8 after a really sweet test i thought, my instructor thought it was a very harsh score.... the next outing led us to score an all time low of 58%! she wasnt happy, tried really hard but was just tense.... sooo, massage booked and found she had a lot of tension to be worked out -- no suprise there... saw how she was that week as we had our bd debut the following weekend....
we decided to go as she felt better than previous and she was an angel, still not 100 percent but down to my riding not her! she pulled out a win in her section for our BD Debut! 6th overall <3 not bad for a little bog pony :)

next we went to the new forest show!
open ridden new forest and she was a star! beautifully behaved minus feeling the need to spook everytime along the side the judge was looking at, but s billion times better than last year and pulled in 7th :D so chuffed!

and we have recently managed to sort of showjump a bit... previously shes been too headstrong and unfocused to care and sends sj flying! xc never a problem but we have since made progress!

thanks both, shes only just managing to become an allrounder after some hairraising history, (and lack of control :p ) shes cool, not many ponies can go to their second county show and warm up between the household cavalry and scurry pairs warming up ;)
this was her tonight finding her new gears.... i nearly fell off backward!

You can't call her a bog pony!!! Honestly, whatever would Don say! :D

I missed watching you as was helping with a friend but well done at NF. Lovely to see how well she's doing now.
