Took the pony to the first Dressage for the winter, only did P18 as i didn't have the other Prelim test 
So, first ones to arrive so had plenty of time to get tacked up. Went round to warm up when i was told i was on next ( half an hour early! ) so i just had time for a quick walk and trot round then into the dressage arena.
It was our first time doing dressage out door in an arena (normally indoor...as you might have guessed) so i wasn;t sure what to expect. Pony had a good look around then judge tooted the horn.
Test went well, pony did't try to look at too much of what was doing on outside of the arena. His canter was rushed and unblanced but we are working on that so i didnt expect it to be too good. Trot and walk i was very pleased with as we can maintain and out line throughout now.
So hung round for another 2 hours to get sheet and i got 60%! i know its not that high but i was verry please as he behaved very well (the winning score was 65, so not that far off!). Got mainly 7's and 6's and two 5's for our canter but i didnt expect anything more for that.
So very please with pony and another dressage next weekend!
