My first ever Stressage test sheet! *pic* And a lovely rozzie :)

[Thelwell_Girl]

Here it is, a week after the actual event My scanner hates me!

What do people think? Did I do ok for a first-timer?

I found the test bloody hard, prob because I was so so nervous But by heck I did it, and Dawi (not my beloved Bonnie as it is written down) did well

TG xx

 

[Divasmum]

Well done. I hope you enjoyed it.

 

[Thelwell_Girl]

I did! As soon as I saluted I burst into tears, I was so happy and relieved it was over and I'd lived to tell that tale x

 

[nemo_]

Well done! You did so well considering the last minute changes and nerves! Just keep practicing, the more you do, the more you will relax. Nice pink rossette

 

[ThePony]

Well done!!! You must be so chuffed!! The movements do come up thick and fast until you are a little more used to it, a fab first test sheet though!! Loving the pink rosette too!!

 

[Thelwell_Girl]

Hehe, the only lad in the group didnt like the pink rozzie so much

I am so so happy with it, seeing as the YM and her daughter were judging xx

 

[cobface]

Well done

 

[JessandCharlie]

Fab! Some good marks there, well done! The things it says you need to work on are just practice and will come easily so next year, watch out London EC

 

[Thelwell_Girl]

You've beaten me and Lil, we've not graduated out of walk and trot tests yet...

 

[Thelwell_Girl]

I wish it had been a W/T test!! That canter along the long diagonal... Scary! xx

Some really nice comments on there, TG. If you remember the test you will be looking at a much better score

What is it with rude judges? Just because they're 'high up' doesnt give them licence to be horrid!

While the YM (who was judging me) is terrifying, I think shes nice underneath... Somewhere...

 

[Thelwell_Girl]

Dressage!!!!???????.....are you mad girl?

It really was a horrid test

Sol said it almost had as many changes of rein as a Novice test!

 

[Cavblacks]

Well done!!! Lovely rosette to hang in pride of place

 

[Steorra]

Is that an 8?! Well done

 

[Benji1]

Well done you!! Even more so 'cause it's Stressage which is prone to sending me into a flap!

You go girl!

 

[HappyHorses:)]

Thats fab TG!

Dressage is tough but fun.
I used to enjoy the challenge of different tests and moving up the levels as I'm sure you will too.

Have to say tho on your sheet you got a 6 for your first centre line when the judge commented on horse wondering yet on your final centre line the judge said you were straight and had a square halt yet only got a 5?! Should of been at least 7/8! You was diddled outta a mark or two!

Love dressage, don't love inconsistent marrking tho grrrrrr . . . . . .
