Hi all

As the event season is over for us had my second outing at BD today. I was totally mad and having agreed with work I would be in at 10am agreed to go first in one ring and second in the other

6am start to plait, dont plait the day before

At Merrist by 7:45 and start to warm up, had a bitting clinic the week before so in my new myler mullen mouth hanging cheek, well she was a cow either the early start or the bit, who knows with Saf
crazy.gif


My teacher/trainer came with me (she is fantastic and sooooo kind) and when I was loosing it told me to walk halt flex breathe and carry on
smile.gif
I really was at boiling point as Saf was being a cow.

Went in for the first test Nov 25 and as the bell went proceded and she did a huge spook just before A at the large flowers so I stood, took a deep breathe circled away and then started, felt horrid throughout the test and came out really dispondent

Trainer then made me shoulder in to canter and back to shoulder in to get her off the left shoulder and straight back in for the second test, as the first rider did not turn up was first in both rings
crazy.gif

Well this test Nov 32 felt better although solid through the right rein and falling in through the left shoulder arrgh
Straight back to the lorry, load, back to yard, dump poor Saf with the girls and straight to work and somehow managed to bathe and get to work on time

Thanks for reading x
 
Sounds like the day was better than it felt at the time...I can hardly get to a competition by 10am....never mind to work AFTER it..I feel tired reading it! Well done.
 
My goodness - you're really keen. I can just about cope with the getting up early bit, but going into work afterwards!!
Well done.

I really want to register mine BD but have just registerred BSJA as thats my weakness! Just works out so time consuming and expensive to affiliate to everything doesnt it!!!
 
Its about time they did a combined reg or one that gives us BE in the season and BD and BSJA in winter? Please listen to us riders, going skint and living off beans

Hi ya *waves*
Only 6, 2 from first time out and 4 from today, really pleased as she was a cow, still love her though but wishing for long legs and another couple stone in weight to have a chance in the battle of the minds
wink.gif

What you doing with the boys? x
 
I cant give you length of leg but can offer you weight lol

Boys are on holiday, coming in soon and then hoping if i have any money out of this teaching to go towards some lessons and renewing my BSJA and BD membership!
May have to ask for that for Xmas tbh!
But the teaching is fun and enabling me to keep the snoopmister
smile.gif
so all good.

Well done i am proud of you
smile.gif
 
So glad you can keep Snoops, am selling everything in sight at the mo to pay for this event season

As for the weight yes please, but make sure it comes in boobs lol never had any and on my wish list

Well done dressage diva

(Last sun - did your friends SJer have a stop at fence 2?) x
 
How did you go? Yes it was my friends horse, she got someone else to ride him as she fell off him schooling. After that stop they got round clear the rest so they were very happy as it was his first time
