Our first BE report - Draycott

[Bella3puff]

Beatle was doing her first event and all went quite well

she did a nice dressage all 6's and 7's and got 36.5

bit of a rush to the SJ cus had to help Cass get Louis ready so I did not watch anyone and had left Beatle too it abit..... cut to the chase.... she jumped really nicely gave every fence miles but she went very very slowly

as she came by me after fence 5 or 6 I said go faster

anyway she got clear but with 10 time pens

Sacked jockey for 30 sec

but she is only 12 year and was try to go clear and will of learn from it etc

..... on to the xc and want really well no problems with speed this time and came round well within the time

so double clear in first event......

to top it all she came 10th and got a rosette (without the SJ time faults she would of been 5th ) so over the moon in the end.

So great start to BE

We took loads of picture but left camera in the lorry

so will upload tomorrow

Fab, well done to Beatle!! passed you as you walked back from the XC, have to say Amber is very smart

 

[carthorse]

Well done Beatle , we are there tomorrow for the novice, what did it look like

 

[KatB]

The_Carthorse, the Novice was nice. Few decent questions, but lots of let up fences too....

 

[carthorse]

Thank you

 

[Rosiefan]

A DC and a rosette - what a fabulous result for Beatle's first go at BE. You must be very proud of her for doing so well

 

[Hattikins]

Brilliant!! Fab result! Very well done to Beatle

 

[icestationzebra]

Very good result. Be careful about outside assistance though......

 

[henryhorn]

Super result, but I echo watch out if you speak to the rider, best to agree a set of signals first like scratching your head !
A place is a really good start, don't forget to look on BE and see just how many others you beat

that always makes it feel even better...

 

[Haniki]

Be careful with the signals even - someone local to me was called in front of the stewards for outside assistance in the XC. The helper wore a stop watch and had set signals to give the rider if they were too fast or too slow. Control picked it up with binoculars.

Well done Beatle and Amber, does this mean you are not going to Willough nap any more or is she still in danger?

 

[HairyHatMan]

That's brilliant, nice one!
