On Sunday I completed my first ever hunter trial!!! The quorn hunt senior hunter trial at aylesford!
It was amazing. My advice to anyone who is thinking of doing one but has not got the confidence - just go for it! I had a weak start and got eliminated for going round fence 2 (I was so nervous I hadn't got myself together by then). I was allowed to keep going and after fence 3 we were on a roll and I loved it. It did help to have some encouraging (bossy) friends to stop me pulling out (you know who you are!)
Anyway, my brother (who is a wedding photographer) came along to support and managed to get some photos of me, my friend, and a few others. I hope I'm allowed to post these here. I particularly love the one of us (girl on the coloured) jumping out of the water.
