No photo's of the actual test as got a video of that!

But just to share a few of my favourite photo's of the day.

We got 59.1% in the Intro B and joint 5th so a pretty purple rosette! :D

Was so, so, so, so, SO proud of him, I know it's crap really but considering I couldn't make him move when I first got him and he resembled a hippo I was ecstatic!

Love my boy.

Firstly, I love your boy - he is so smart!

Second, well done for doing your 1st test. I am planning to do my first one next weekend - but I have said that so many times that no one believes me anymore! My poor RI - she is so patient with me. My OH got fed up with me and took my cob to do the test instead. Just a walk and trot, but he did really well and got a rosette. So I know my cob can do it, I just need to get over my nerves about "performing"! And now I also have to beat the OH's score or I will never live it down (he has only been riding for 9 months)!

Thank you very much, he's not at the moment however, last night he came in brown with his forelock stuck to his head. :rolleyes:

And thank you again, and I was exactly the same, I said I was doing the last 2, haha! :eek: But don't put unnecessary pressure on yourself! You don't have to beat your OH's score at all, you'll just be so bloody thrilled with yourself for doing it like I was you won't care! Trust me! :D I was quivering about it for ages, and you know what, I actually really enjoyed it! You'll just want to cuddle your cob, it doesn't matter how you do I think, it's just doing it that counts! Good luck, let me know how you get on! :)

Also, my trainer told me she'd be proud of me whatever and couldn't care less if I rode him backwards, haha. Love her.
