Took P sj today. Entered the 2ft 6 and can't believe how scared I was. Think i didn't want to let him down so felt kinda under pressure as his ex owner was there. He LOOKED at everything. i think i got on him too early and he had gone past his best when i went in (mental note to cut the warm up time next outing). Had the wrong bend straight away and struck off into canter with his nose in the air. Jump one was a bit of a surprise to him but got it together for number two. Trashed a couple because I didn't ride him forward enough and he was all over the place waiting for my instructions!! Lesson learn't, RIDE HIM, don't just sit there. Also my reins ended up like washing lines, must sort that out!! Overall, so pleased with my lad, a true genuine boy. My friend took him in the 2ft 9" and he had a good round, one sticky moment and a pole down but much more flowing. Well done Peter. xx
