Dear Ted,
You were entered in Prelim 12 and 13 at riding club level, NOT the 2.15 at Cheltenham. Twenty metre circles are just that, not the wall of death with your head, shoulders and quarters all going in opposite directions at the same time. You were going so fast the poor judge missed most of the movements off your sheet, or maybe she spared you the embarrassment of writing what she really thought.
However, you did achieve 4 hurried, 5 tense, 3 head highs, 2 overbents. Plus you had 2 error of course because your poor rider dare not give and retake the reins for fear of you clearing off at warp factor flatout. In the little box where the judge writes her own comments you achieved 'a bit onward bound' in Prelim 12 and 'he's rather jolly today' in Prelim 13.
Anyway the highlight of the day was the lentil soup and rocky road cake. Things were going so badly there are no photos other than this rather long distance one, which actually does sum up our morning, all the other horses were the other end staying out of the bonkers creatures way.
