Awesome report, love city girl's logic, though the spaghetti fence sounds worrying!!

 

[Scarlett]

Utter genius. Thank you for taking the time to write a report!

 

[muffinthemule]

What a brilliant report! Well done for completing with so much going on.

 

[Ahrena]

So sorry you had a bad day

BUT oh my god you had me in stitches. PLEASE write a blog/book.

Especially loved the holding into the treble, that's me all over. I'm going to reread it now and laugh some more!

I'm sorry your day didn't go as planned, but I have to say that your report is probably the best I've ever read - talk about taking something from the day! I reckon you should submit that to H&H and line up a regular column, as your normal good events are just as amusingly written up
When's the next outing? x

 

[foxy1]

I'm looking forward to the next outing too great report!

 

[Kenzo]

Not a great day but a great read never the less.

 

[Vickijay]

Im sorry you didnt have the best day but your report was amazing!! I have always loved reading your posts but this is the funniest by far. I think if you wrote a blog it would be very popular

[Quadro]

[sabel]

Sorry you had a bad day, but that was a very funny report!! Keep them coming

 

[HotToTrot]

Awesome report. Possibly the best I've ever read

Thank you!

 

[Twiglet]

Another vote for you to write a blog!! Cracking report.

You weren't at Tweseldown a couple of weeks ago were you? I was left in awe of a competitor parked near us with the most beautifully behaved husband, baby and horse...!!

 

[HotToTrot]

Gosh what a lot to cope with! Brilliantly enjoyable report and next time will be better

Thanks, I hope so!

 

[HotToTrot]

Sorry you didn't have the best day, but reading that made mine ten times better

Your style of writing is hilarious!

Always glad to be of service!

 

[HotToTrot]

Don't suppose your a chick lit writer in disguise? felt like I was reading a Sophie Kinsella there, the little known Eventer-holic and baby....
In true literature style you'll win the next event for a happy ending

Eventer-holic, I like it. I very much doubt that I am ever going to win anything, sadly, but I suppose I could try to stay on the horse for the duration next time!

 

[HotToTrot]

Blooming Brilliant report!

Thanks!

 

[HotToTrot]

Shame your day didnt go to plan but I thoroughly enjoyed reading that report!

Ah well, perhaps next time will be better.

 

[HotToTrot]

That post made me laugh out loud!!!!! First place and a red frilly for the funniest post of the day sorry to chuckle op!
Next time can you leave baby at home, and just take evented friend?

After her performance on Sunday, I want to marry Eventer Friend.

 

[almostthere]

Fabulous report! You should seriously consider writing for a living/sideline.. apart from the general audience you will have a lot of working mums who follow you thinking ...not just me then...and i speak from painful experience... As they say..you don't think it was brilliant on paper but you made a lot of people smile on here so thank you for sharing )

 

[kit279]

Awesome report, made me laugh out loud! My husband peered over my shoulder and said "You do realise if we have a child that there is no possible way I can manage all the things that those friends are doing so have you considered hacking full time?!"

 

[HotToTrot]

I'm sorry, I know I shouldn't be, particularly in the light of your 'not the best of days', but I am almost crying with laughter at that report (sorry again ).

I'm not sure I would have been quite as philosophical at the end of it - so well done you! (Was that condescending enough to add to the organisers ringing your parents? )

Could I just ask - how many jumps were in the treble for you get 16 penalties - or was it a quadruple - in which case, every one down would have been perfectly understandable - and even acceptable??!

I'm not sure it's possible to be condescending to someone who routinely walks round events half-dressed and feeding a baby. I am beyond condescension! Good attention to detail! I wondered whether anyone would pick up on that. I am pleased to say that the last fence wasn't a quadruple, but I tapped an oxer early on in the round. Kinda seemed inconsequential, by the time I'd finished wrapping my horse round the treble!

 

[Firewell]

Oh my word that was hilarious (report not your score! ). Shame it wasn't the best day but it was fun to read! As someone with a small baby, horse and a chief babysitting husband I have to say I felt for you! Well done for going out in the heat with all that going on .

 

[MollyMoomin]

Bahahaha!! Sorry, this is an amazing report.

Sorry it wasn't a great day score wise but fab report

 

[chels]

Another vote for best report on HHO ever!
Sorry your day didn't go quite to plan, but you MUST start a blog!

 

[HotToTrot]

Great reading!

Thanks!

 

[HotToTrot]

Sorry but this made me laugh

Always good to find a positive to the day!

 

[HotToTrot]

Well at least your sense of humour is intact..great report & bet it will be so much easier next time when Mr hottotrot gets his priorities sorted

Thanks! Mr HTT would have shouted back at the DR judge, guaranteeing me an even worse mark!

 

[HotToTrot]

HA! what an awesome event report. Keep it coming

Thank you!

 

[HotToTrot]

I am properly laughing, if you wrote a book I would 100% buy it and recommend it to the world, even if I'd read every entry on here first

Sorry it was a crap day, think of it as a dip before the amazingness that is to come? (I tried that line on Al and she almost slapped me, so if it has the same effect on you I'll stop using it...)

My dad used this line in his father of the bride speech. He said that I was always very cheerful and optimistic about eventing and there was always a feeling that somehow, next time would be better.
