...went well 
Got there with plenty of time only to find out the clear round was running 45mins late
Que a rather long wait!
Warm up was a bit hairy! I can't believe that even a lot of affiliated people don't know it's generally left to left and walk on the inside track! :O
Finally got to walk the course and it was quite nice, except for the turn from fences 9 to 10!
Put my number down and was lucky to be given an early slot of 5th to go as there were about 40 people in the class.
Went in and he jumped his little socks off! Helped me out when I missed completely at fence 2 and jumped fantastically, I really feel he locks onto his fences now and wants to jump them
Had an unfortunate pole down at the second part of a one striding upright double. Thought we had got away with it but it fell Hey ho, i was just so chuffed with him!
Lots (and I mean lots) of people were having 4 faults and there were a lot of 8 fault rounds with very few clears so I think we did quite well and didn't disgrace ourselves!
I was planning on doing the Discovery as well but there were still about 35 people to go after me in the British Novice and there was just too much hanging around! Ahh well next time! Aiming to do Newcomers by the end of the year, Fingers crossed!
So that's my report Hope it wasn't too long! Cookies and freshly baked cupcakes if you got this far!
Some pics and a video of our round (will post link to professional ones when they are put up later )
CC welcome but not too harsh please I know I'm not a brilliant ride rand he has a tendency to rush but he's not an easy horse to ride! This was a big step for us to take and I was very nervous! This time last year I was just chuffed to get round a 2ft course clear!
