Quick post as I am soooo tired, and hungry!!!

Spider an absolute star today in all three phases and I cant stop grinning from ear to ear!!!

Dressage - she did a nice test but not to her best but got 30.5!!!! about 5th after dressage.

SJ- was causing carnage for some unknown reason the amount of stop sI saw at no 1 was incredible!! She jumped super and was clear yey!!

The XC - wasnt to bad bit spooky but decided to do it - she was SUPER!! Jumped everything great flew off the drop, over the chair, the offset double, the mushrooms!!!! Then came to the 4th from last fence a narrowish brigh BLUE house thingy and I had a run out at this, she just spooked a bit and I kept my leg on but she caught sight of a crowd off people in the distance as we got closer and I just couldnt hold her in, so circled and she flew it and I got home YEY!!!!

Annoying thing is I would have won the class if I hadnt of had the run out!!! Damn Damn!! Had 5 time pens but wouldnt of had so many if I hadnt of had stop probably only a coupel and would off still won as far as I could see from the score bored as we left!!

Oh well cant be greedy she was amazing and im so happy!!! she is going to be a cracker if she can do that at her age!!

Didnt get any pics as it was over the dragon fence with the arch over it and she ducked her head as she went over it!!!

Saw T-E as I approached no 3 but needed to concentrate rather then say hi!!

Hope she had a good day with libs
 
I was in L. Went from 2nd to 22nd!!!

Cant wait to do Borde Hill and Little Downham Intros now, they will seem so easy to her!!

Was a lovely inviting course (was you there?) The water was a bit technical for PN but luckily she is excellent with water so didnt have to take the alternative
 
Nope was at work

But if I'd have gone today, would have had to play "dodge the person who seems to hate me most of the time"

(nice grey spanish horse though)

Did it last year when I went & it wasn't that easy to do! Ben did withdraw yesterday so good job I didnt pop up (well I say pop, it's about an 1hr from me)
 
Brilliant dressage and SJ - well done you two. Shame about the run out but she is a baby. Looks like she's gonna be a super star!
 
Well done, must say she is classier in the flesh than in photos. She was wiggling into 3 but it is very much an away from home fence, but she moved away from it nicely. Didn't think you'd recognise me at that speed! Very well done for getting a clear round that sj course, as you said it was causing a lot of trouble.
 
awww thanks, I do really love her and I knew she had it in her and would start to improve, am sooo sooo happy!!

I saw your result! Well done, excellent weekend for you.

I only knew it was you as I had seen you heading down there when I was in the warm up!
grin.gif
Was very pleased as although it wasnt big it wa the sort f fences she doesnt like (as a baby) as they were so well presented and quite spooky!

Not sure why the SJing caused so many probs, saw many elims at number 1

PWSTHM (Person who seems to hate me) had one down - quite unusual for horse considering how much scope he's got (and doesn't want to hit his balls)

How old is Spider? (can't keep up with you lot & multiple rides
wink.gif
)

Well done. Shame about the run out as 2nd would've been fabby!

I had a hiccup at the mushrooms - a severe case of spooking, she did a nice jump over the fir tree next to it but unfortunately that wasn't in between the flags!

So think we came about 31st!!!
 
Oh dear, I was actually quite worried about the mushrooms as they were quite spooky! But she jumped them fine.

The whole course was quite spooky I think as it was so nicely presented - lovely lovely course!!

Im back there in July for the PAVO class, cant wait!! Are you back there in July?
