Rosie was there yesterday for the SJ and today for the dressage.
Just a Token did two clear rounds so went through to the individual JO - super quick clear round and won. Lotus Eater did a nice clear in the first round and then had a strop before the last double (which she then cleared) so 4 faults. Saffron Walden team came first and second.
Today, BB had a bit of an explosion in the novice dressage and then Just a Token did a very nice test (not sure what level) and I don't really know where either those two or the team came. It's quite confusing compared to BE eventing - at least, it is for me

FMC: must have seen you because we watched all the pairs dressage to music but don't know which pair you were part of. Very impressive - must take hours of practice!

I was riding the very tense TB who was leaping all over the place before i went in!! We were the second pair - 2 bays (the speakers went off near the end of our test

Rosie did well! I looked for you yesterday - i was stewarding the juniors in the morning.
 
We didn't think the music was supposed to stop when it did but it didn't seem to affect you or the horses too badly - congrats on 3rd place. Fascinating to watch.
I was up the top (near the cafe) as I was on video duty. Rosie was in the juniors, novice I think. Did you see a loony bay going mad before she went into the ring (broke the fence, fortunately plastic so she wasn't hurt) well that was Just a Token

She (mare) was fine thanks - went on to win the individual comp - but I think Rosie was a bit embarassed lol. She's just one of those horses who gets very excited and the next two rounds they just rode straight from the warm up into the ring, no waiting at the entrance.
 
I got confused! That happened yesterday?

You prob saw me running around the arena picking up poles lol! As demonstrated in my in hand showing pics, i really can not run.

She did well to win, there were some nice horses there. Was she wearing pink lined jacket? Very fast mare?
 
I did see you. You picked up all the poles with no help - bet you were worn out! She was first to go in the jump off and went pretty fast - much more careful in the first two rounds - but no pink lining in her jacket. She also rode a grey mare in the same class and a blanket spotted appaloosa in the novice dressage today but I should think you were probably getting ready for your class then.
