Dispite the rain - and the warmup being outside
we ventured to Moulton college this morning. I had already decided to jump the smaller classes as i needed to take some of the pressure off and remember how to enjoy myself!!
Got there earlier than planned, had wanted to jump the 80cm and 90cm but as the CR as still going so i decided to jump this first. We did a very quick warmup, just enough to warm the muscles and went in, to jump a lovely clear. She was a bit sticky at a couple of fences but at that height i had the confidence to keep my legs on and she popped them nicely.
Onto the 80cm, again warmed up as quickly as i was able and went in. The course had changed a little but seemed ok and for once it was nice not to be nervous...i couldnt stop thinking how small they looked! She jumped really well, but i got a bit long down the last line and had the first part down of the double, which was the last fence
Was very pleased though as it was a nice flowing round and i had no stops!
I had just untacked Fee when someone told me i should check if i have to jump off as there was only one clear! Turns out they timed the first round and i was the fastest 4 faulter and got second!!!!
Really chuffed (even though i decided to jump the smaller classes ) as i had no stops and even came home with a couple of rosettes. Today definitly gave me the confidence boost i needed. I was so happy i decided to leave it there and come home.
Didnt manage to get any pictures but met Timefaulter at last....although im sure i missed some other HHOers! Thanks for reading!
