Wasn't the best day ever

Got there, walked the course. Bloody hell springs to mind

It was meant to be 3"3ft, but it wouldn't have looked out of place in an open, it was massive, i was sh!tting myself lol.

Anyway onto the dressage, she warmed up nicely but then something spooked her in the hedge and she WOULD NOT settle, she was barmy- just about managed to keep her in control in the test but it was rubbish

Onto the showjumping, it wasn't very full up and technical and she went clear easily

Onto the xcountry. It was the biggest course i have EVER jumped lol. It was really big i was so nervous

She flew round the first half of the course, i was feeling really confident, but we then got eliminated at the first part of the water

which was a big rolltop a few strides out of the water, she caught a glimpse of the water and just wouldn't jump it. I missed it out and went through the water and out over the narrow flower box thing and she flew around the rest but then 2 fences from home i got told to stop cos i was eliminated at the water! but they had let me carry on! i was so peed off, but she would of flown the last 2 fences so not too dispondant.

So although it doesn't look good on paper, i am still really pleased with her, as the course was huge, i have seen smaller opens so i am really chuffed, i know she has the ability now, we just have to sort out a few things and we will be well on our way

Oh and i saw Ellie and Issy when i was walking the course, they looked to be doing well

Hehe - bad luck and well done!! the coffin was actually jumping really well - shame you couldnt have jumped it. The 'flower box' was just boring lmao
That was a nasty fence where you got eliminted - i almost ended up jumping it as i needed to go right to the right, thought i could go to the right of it bit at the last minute realise i couldnt hahaha
 
hmm may go schooling there, soph do you have any other fence pics?

Bad luck hun but at least she wasbold over the rest.
