Headed off to Howe again on Sunday as a 'practice run' before Fife show this saturday. Lots of hanging around before we even got into our classes by which point Torin was rather bored and found every opportunity he could to entertain himself, including biting my dad and throwing front legs at me! Popped into our in hand class, bit fizzy and strong to trot up so placed 5th in a class of 5. Saddle on, leg up, hadn't even sat my bottom in the saddled and promptly we bounced off at a canter, contained ourselves (barely) for a short warm up and off into our ridden class.....dear lord was his blood up!! We just managed to keep a lid on it for the class, even if he went round the ring like a coiled spring and our individual show was mediocre at best. 4th in a strong class with the judge commenting on him being slightly overbent, which he tends to do when he gets wound up and to be fair to him it was his first show on grass this year
Lots of riding in our grass jumping paddock this week! I think we need to find another couple of classes we could enter (other than the coloured classes we do) so any suggestions are welcome!
Sadly still waiting on pictures being sent from dad but have one that mum took on her phone:
