Markfield BSJA today - fairly good outing for all three.

Thanks to Hayley Chamberlain who rides the horses for me we had a fairly good Xmas day out at Markfield BSJA today

.
Took the horse I have got in to school & sell and did his first ever BSJA class (British Novice) on a ticket. He was gawping around the area with his eyes out on stalks so had a silly stop at the first fence but jumped well after that and got round in one piece so really pleased with him.
Then the new horse I have bought with the above friend jumped a lovely double clear in the Discovery at his first show since we bought him 2 weeks ago. We were delighted with him so left it on a good note and didn't do anymore classes. We are hoping he is going to be a star!
Finally, the old Grade A did the Blue Chip Star qualifier but unfortunately had a fence down so didn't qualify

- never mind I still love him

.
Shame about the thick fog on the way home though

Yes I think I saw you on the horse in your siggy - you jumped the Star too didn't you ??
Lovely horse by the way - and a massive pop

yeah I had two in the star, my little chestnut qualified, did you see the bay? He kept nearly jumping me off over every fence, haha, needs a rider with longer legs to hang on!

Yeah it was your bay I noticed . . . huge jump!!!
Looked as though you were doing just fine to me.
Did you qualify? We had a fence down with both of our's so obviously didn't - drat !!

the bay had a silly pole but my other horse came 4th so qualified thank god, I hate qualifiers! you have to go so fast, it really annoys me, lol.
