I don't usually do competition reports but have come to the conclusion that my horse is never going to get a write up in the h&h, so I decided to blow his own trumpet for him 
Last Sunday (24th June) we trundled off to Kings EC, a little nervous has not been to a show since March (when he got his final points required for his Summer Regional classes) and not sure if he was going to be show rusty or get excited as not been anywhere for awhile
Got there with plenty of time so we stuffed out faces with sandwiches and chocolate, and sat having a good goss with other peeps
Decided we better get him ready and warm up, so I did my usual jobs of getting his number ready and holding his bridle, whilst his fabulous rider tacked him up and plaited his forelock At least I know when jobs are better left to the professionals
He was really chilled and wandered down to the warm up and behaved impeccibly for his 25 minute warm up and then it was almost time for him to go in... cue the nerves... 6yo unveiling his Medium FSM test for the first time and has only done a couple of Medium tests before of course the rider was as cool as a cucumber and never gets unsettled Good job really lol
So I did my next job that i'm capable of not messing up lol and took his boots off and in he went
It went really well, he had a couple of things he could and can do better but you wouldn't have known he'd not been to a show for a few months and he didn't turn a hair even when he tripped on the final centre line, I was a very proud mum
We put him away and went to have lunch whilst we waited for the results and I was very hopeful that we would have broken the 70% barrier for Medium, everyone was coming and saying what a great test it was and Serena Pincus came to say what a good floor plan we had so I was really pleased before the results even came out and when they did you could have blown me down with a feather!! 79.66% Still somewhat in shock but as you can imagine and I love my horse alot and my friend does an awesome job of riding him for me
The judge came and spoke to us at the end of the day and gave us some really great feedback
