Popped down to Badgworth yesterday to ease the winter boredom
Little monkey didnt want to load but allowed herself to follow small white pony in and then naturally wouldnt let SWP leave so had to be escorted around Badgworth with it too *rolls eyes*
Anyway, had decided that as she's never done pure SJ before and never jumped indoors before, we'd do the BN and discovery. Unfortuantely the BN turned out to be a qualifier so there were SO many people- at least 50-60 so got a little bored hanging around then as is always the way, didnt leave myself with quite enough time to jump as much as would maybe have liked!
She was very sweet in the ring- the course was quite spooky, had a water tray as well which she's never seen and many were having probs here. Bless her, she didnt quite know what to do with herself but popped round calmly, just had a rail going into the second double.
Onto discovery next which was much more her height- she doesnt really bother with anything under 1m (neither do I which is prob most of the problem!) In this she surpassed herself- high on confidence and she felt fab, boy can she jump and even where she found a couple of the distances long (she is only tiny....) she really tried. Finished with a lovely clear, one happy pony and one happy mummy!!
Didnt bother waiting around for the JO- she'd done all she needed to do and we were on a ticket anyway.
So now I'm going to join and aim to do the discovery and 1.05 next time
