So went to Moreton and stayed over Tuesday night. Had the Petplan Novice Open on Tuesday afternoon and the Petplan Elementary Restricted on Wednesday morning.
I was in the last 6 after the break to go in the Novice Open on the tuesday afternoon. Im not sure if anyone here has been to moreton, but its two arenas that run side by side. So for the last six in my section they suddenly started blasting out music from a loud speaker as they were doing dressage to music in the far arena. Not only did it scare the poor horse before me as it made the horse and rider jump out of their skin, but it was across the arenas - we had to ride our tests underneath this speaker which was MEGA loud so the people doing the music in the OTHER arena could hear it. I went into do mine and the music was off for a bit as they were inbetween tests, then just as i was doing my free walk towards the speaker they wacked the music on, well poor little Bloss nearly died bless her. I got her back together tho and finished the test.
We immediately lodged a complaint. You'd think they could wait until our arena had finished. Anyways, i got 65%, could have been a lot higher, and came 7th, so a bit p!ssed off to say the least. Then, to top it off, I missed the prize giving........only FOUR people out of the eight were in the arena.
So wednesday morning got up super early, plaited up, warmed up and she was going really well. Got in arena and i went the wrong bl00dy way - ive NEVER gone wrong ever and im SO angry with myself. Bloss went fantastically and i came out with 64.3% and would've got 65.2% had i not gone wrong
Came 5th overall and wouldve been 3rd, im SO angry with myself
So heres hoping for my last chance at wellington next week.................
