Our first competition for 2011 was an unaffiliated dressage competition (and our very first dressage comp!) competing in Prelim 10. Jack was a very good boy apart from putting in a flying change across the long diagonal (doh!) but we finished with a score of 64.09% and came 4th!
February
February we were out competing in unaff dressage again, this time Prelim 12 and Novice 20! :eeek: The prelim test went really well and we finished with a score of 65.6% which I was very happy with and we came 5th of around 20 entries! The novice test went nearly as well (in my mind, considering we had only ever done 2 tests beforehand!) and we finished with a respectable 62.4% and the judge said it was a smooth test with potential!

March
In March we had a go at our first 29ft SJ course. I used the 26ft as a warm up and unfortunately we got a bit too close to the second part of the double and rolled it but Jack was super in the 29ft and we finished the round clear!

April
Our first ODE of the year, unaff 80cm at Bicton.
Dressage 32.5%
SJ 4 faults
XC clear!
We were awarded 8th place
May
In May, Jack was a very lucky lad and got a brand new made to measure saddle.
We also went to a local show, placing 3rd in the M&M inhand class and 4th in Novice WH.
June
In june we entered another ODE but the weather was ridiculous hot and the ground so hard, we competed in the dressage and withdrew from SJ and XC. We got 33.2%.
