Weather was sooo awful down there but at least we didnt have to run on the hard- it was positively muddy when I ran xc!!
Dressage- we were a bit late getting on (long story) so only had 15mins to get her settled and she didnt really warm up particularly well. She tried really, really hard in the test though and I felt it was the best test she has done, she is starting to find her balance in the transitions and she did 3 beautiful centre lines
She got 38 which was a little worse than I was expecting but she was first horse in the arena.
Sj, well we had hours to wait before jumping and the rain really came down hard which upset her as it made a bit of a loud noise in the lorry! So had a bit of a stressed Moon. Luckily stopped when I went to warm up and she warmed up ok. She jumped nicely, just had one pole going away from collecting ring where she took her focus off.
Xc, course was lovely, pretty easy but with mini questions she's likely to encounter at novice so it was good for her. She skipped round very sweetly, gave me a nice feel and really said it was all very simple!!
So pleased with my girl, sound as a pound and very positive attitude at the moment.
For those doing the **, the track looks lovely, Eric's kept it basically the same but with changes to the combinations- the first water looked like it needs bold riding, the triple mid-way now has a back bar on the 3rd element so I think is a tad more tricky than last year.
