Our Nurstead PN Report

[archoak]

Had a great weekend, stabled at a lovely yard, nice big stable and Duke didn't eat the straw

Have just got back and am really tired but well done to Holly-Jane and Saf - just read your posts. Dressage was quite harsh, we got a 3

for cantering on the wrong leg although was quickly rectified and total score was 39.5

but Jack was philosophical. Onto sj (on a slope) and Duke was fab, really listened and they just had the last one down (Jack's fault) but Duke really listened today

We usually seem to get 8 faults so really pleased.

When we walked the xc yesterday I thought it was quite technical and a fair test, quite a few of the Novice track in the PN plus quite hilly. Duke just stormed it

and they came in under the optimum time which was a first. Had a slightly sticky moment (commentators words) at the hanging log before the slope, Duke did a humungous jump and they landed half way down

Jack said it was a bit of a shock but really good fun - glad I couldn't see

Ended up 14th and really set them up for their first Novice next weekend. Thanks for reading

Well done to Jack real good step up for the novice, where is it? Good luck

Thanks, Broadway and I think it might be less of a test than Nurstead

Well done! I was also there today, bit of a poo dressage and 2 down sj, but had an amazing xc and still on a high, one of those rounds where you seem to meet every fence on a good stride and we both agreed on where to take off!! It was a lovely course for bold, onward riding and weren't we sooo lucky with the weather, the forecast was rather different!!

THats a fab result - I was there too today in section H....must admit, that last pole in the SJ was definately the bogey fence!

Im still buzzing...got to be one of the nicest courses, and although looks pretty daunting to walk round, it rides superbly - I almost wished I had done the Novice with so many of the PN jumps being the same (although I wouldnt have fancied that Corner!!

)

Aw thanks - I was there today watching for a bit too.

Well done, sounds like a good run before the Novice

Well done, sounds like Jack is doing really well with Duke

Good luck for your first novice
