The venue was amazing and i going to sent email to venue thanking them as again so well run. Defo worth trip and they had defo change course from May and made it really good fun

 

[seche]

I wasnt there sadly was ment to be but missed the Ballot... Opps! so my boy is now running at Purston (hopefully!) I darent get too hopeful as Monmouth has cancelled (when I get to ride him!) now have to wait till Dauntsey where will probs get balloted (cant bear it!)
Least I will get to watch him at Purston (though think thats worse as I will be OH SO NERVOUS - even though he is in some of the best hands out there EKK!

 

[kick_On]

oooooooooo balloting this season has been very heavy. I'm waiting for Daunstey aswell. Finger crossed you get to Purtson, the weather forecast is for drying week tho

 

[Sarah_Jane]

Well done another great result. Looking lovely as usual. Good job you didn't decide to enter Monmouth!

 

[kick_On]

thanks- defo going in right direction one placing better than last outing

.
Yeah i so glad choose pontispool as sj on surface, defo was the factor. I don't know about you but going xc i was defo thinking 'Blimly it a bit HARD in places so i told huge hold and didn't ride for time, just a good clean clear. I think next season i'm going to aim to bit a bit more for up there, i'm going for learning the ropes season

 

[dollyrocks02]

Well Done!! You both look great!! I dream of the day I only get two down!!

Do you fancy some SJ help from top trainer on Sun Oct 5th?? Bromyard area?? PM me..

 

[kick_On]

BU88ER!!!!! if you know what i mean - i'm fence judging so hopefully i don't get balloted from Daunstey BE
have a great time tho will think of you. Aren't you going around in squares and circles tho???

And thx about BE but if it was school report it would go something like this:

'Sweet horse but rider makes not effort to chill out before sj, so therefore she rides like a numpty!!!!!!!!!!! Not doing gg justice!!! But combination always has a smile and a laugh so whilst can be a little rough in areas, still has right attitude that horses should be FUN and these two ARE

'

 

[TableDancer]

Great report, great piccies and I love your horse: what a fab jumper

Well done on a good day's work!

 

[kick_On]

thx - i love my horse too

so that prob WHY i don't jump him so quickly when he's doing his leaping and sillyness cos i laugh, then forgot important bit of riding - D'OH

 

[Rosiefan]

Sounds like you had a great time so congratulations you 2

 

[_Amy_Rose_]

Well done! I was surprised at the ground too, considering so many events are cancelling because its too wet. Did anyone else think the hedge at nine was rather large? Had a quick look at the course and on the landing side i couldnt see over the top, and im 5'6"! Wasn't much smaller on the take off side either. Bet it looked big on the little 14.1hh conny my boss was riding!

U~T

 

[kick_On]

thx that's the bit i forgot to do when I walked course

and only realised it when jumping and though OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.............. it was a LONG WAY down, BU88ER!!!! HAIL THAT CAB and slip to buckle

then pick knitting up on a wobble line to 10A

 

[rebmw]

omg yes, I was suprised at how huge that hedge was, but it was my first pn so I thought that maybe it was the norm. It didn't help that my steering wasn't great to that fence and we ended up jumping to the left which was the biggest bit. I think the "Aintree" fence was very appropriate named!
