Just got a video through. Its a video of a video, but pretty good quality. I am pretty pleased with it TBH, there is a whole lot of things that could have been better, along with him working in a more advanced way, but WTF, Last year every event we knew would be last after dressage at any standard event, the year before we had never competed. We got there, we held it together and we did better than average, even in dressage

. I couldn't push him on more, as he had been having 'special' attacks the morning and day before.

I love it at the end in the applause when he was just like- oh people, a lot or ponies freaked

. And the walk music was groovy.

And the scores, if you want to see what the judging was like, i find it interesting, doubt you will

The actual test was simple, easier than PN here, not that that made it any less of a challenge!

Hehe. Sone things are trickier driving, but some things are easier :P. Ridden I can make Pip rush, driven he doesn't, but if he did it would be hard to stop. Ridden I can unbalance him, but also help balance him, driven unless I turn too tight he should stay balanced, but doesn't because, well he doesn't and it is hard to help with.
 
He is immense, and really did pull it out the bag. It was probably his best dressage test ever, and usually if I am the slightest bit nervous, he really overreacts. I was nervous at the start, very nervous. It really doesn't help having all your mates and teachers wanting to do well, rather than against you

. And he did jump the drain going into the arena, and we had to get a lead, the first time he had ever done that, but in the test he looks very chilled, and relaxed!
