I put up some pics from saturday but forgot to do a report!
Well, firsty Sparks is broken so didn't go. However, Bob and brother still went.
Saturday - the sun was shining and we had nice times of 11 and 1. Up first was N27, ponies first ever competitive Novice - Bob decided the arena florsitry was obviously hiding horse eating dragon's and couldn't we see them? So a rather tense and spooky test for 54% and 7th of 8 in the section. On to prelim 7 which was a huge section, a much more fluent test marked quite harshly imo for 59.5% and 6th place.
Sunday - it rained everything was flooding and soaked although the footing held up. First up at 8.56am (gulp) was P10 and they were brilliant despite horizontal rain coming away with 64% and that was with the boy fluffing the KB freewalk worth double marks! On a high from that they went into N25 and were 7th again in a larger section this time with 57%, a good improvement on the saturday. Then we discovered they'd taken 6th in the overall Junior Championship too (combined scores from all the junior classes).
Not bad for a show pony who'd never done dressage before January!

A few in action ones..
Halt, a bit blurry as the rain was so hevay the camera lens was covered!
