Day started of well with some beautiful fly bucks in the dressage warm up and general resistance! Scored a 32 with a personal pest 8 in the walk!
A lovely clear sj, one of her best rounds yet!
Started off the xc flying, put in the hugest leap over the second which had the poeple parked up on the road gasping for breath, i was up there for a long long time it semt! Got around to the fence before the water, and was held due to a fall, which is fine-one of those things. But i was then held for a further 6 minutes, whilst the two people who had then started came past the fence that i was held at, (which tia got very pissed off by), and only for the second person(no other than sharon hunt) to bleeding fall off!! I wasnt impressed, if i was held, then a)why was the person after me not held as well?? and b)why was the second person alowed to start in the first place!!! Anyway, 6 minutes later, me and one very aggitated horse started again, and had completely lost her concentration, managed to get around clear but she left a leg at the corner and i felt myself coming off the side, but didnt fortunatly!!
I then when i got back, had a few words with the starters to try and clarify the situation, then spoke to the TA who wasnt much use! The worst thing was my poor mother was left at the start, worried sick becasue they had stop announcing what was going on whilst i was being held, and all she heard was that there had been a fall at the water and i had been goine near enough 10 minutes!!
Amyway, finished 8th in a very competitive Open pre-novice section against some decent horses! Good girlie.
