First time out in aaaaaages and reliable as ever..... fresh AS..but such a good soul with it 
N24 trot work= good,much better clarity in the medium and better suppleness. Veeeery tight in the trot/walk/trot in fact more of a trot/piaffe/trot and then not much walking was done... free medium or otherwise it was more jogging and tip toeing...whoops!
Canter balance is much improved and the GNR better but we bucked.... and bucked.... and bucked instead of doing medium canter.... all very cheerful zero malice but not really what the poor judge wanted!
And to end on a high I went wrong! which annoys me far more than anything Raf could ever do!!!
So between us binned about eleventy hundred marks lol.
65.21% which I’m really pleased with,shows the good bits are indeed getting so much stronger.
We went almost straight in to N39 and he prefers to have a snack/pee/rest stop really so I didn’t do much in between .... trot work again sweet, walk a *bit* better but still brittle,didn’t try for walk to canter just let him do a smidge of trot but tbf to him it was pretty balanced and relaxed, aaaaaaaaand then.......we cheerfully bucked round our medium canters again just to give this judge the same acrobatic experience!
Super pleased with the canter/trot/canter on the long sides and the rest of it though,all coming together sweetly.
63.07% despite all that and totally agree with the comments.
Really nice morning out,huge thanks to the organisational legend that is Phoebe at Reaseheath College Equestrian Centre.
Next stop Native Champs then we will start to collect AF points for 2020.
