I did day before dressage at Moreton which i always enjoy cos the warm up is so much quieter and it suits my boys hot temperament. He did a lovely soft calm test and scored 29 which i was really chuffed with.
Up early this morning and he jumped a super SJ round over what i thought was quite a small course. Onto XC and he started warming up like a beach donkey

then all of a sudden the light came on

He bucked and leapt around leaving me with heck of a job to get him into the start box! Once he was off he flew, just had one hiccup where he spooked at a plant in front of a fence

(Yes he is a bit of an idiot!) I made him jump it on an angle from a stand still i was so cross

The rest of the course he was fab. We finished with 4.4 time and ended the day 8th so i was delighted for the first one of the season.
A few more at intro then i will be brave and move up to prenovice

The ground was fantastic and rode really well. I also met Buster123 for the first time. Always nice to put a face to a name.
One person was airlifted off the ground but im not sure what happened so hopefully they are ok.
All in all a good day. Cant wait for Larkhill now, anyone else going there?
 
Fantastic well done particularly on your dressage. Sounds like he will be more than ready to move up to PN soon. Good luck at Larkhill.
 
Congratulations! I drove past Moreton on my way to work this am and wished I could have stopped in and watched
