Regional report!

[mat]

Hmmmm.. lots of bucking, bronking and a little rear in my test!!

need I say any more!? Suprisingly we didnt get placed!

Going to give Merlin a bit of a break from dressage and do some jumping for a bit until the hormones are under control! (realised how randy he was when I got back to the lorry after collecting my score to find him err..... relieving himself!!

The in between work was good, but I got a few 0's for the movements where he was in the air! My first 0 ever!!

Going to try out the Area festival at Elementary I think, I'm going to wait for one of the later ones to give him the best chance of being relaxed!

Next show will probably be Burghley young event horse!

Will post pics if I get them!

At last, I've been waiting for this all day/evening

I'm sorry but that made me chuckle.

Oh dear! I did send the vibes, just not enough by the look of it!
I'm sure he'll enjoy jumping for a little change: he's got a nice jump in him

 

[_jetset_]

Relieving himself eh?!

Poor lad just wanted to get his leg over, and like every man he couldn't concentrate until he had released his love juices. If you had ridden him after that I can guarantee he would have been a different animal

 

[mat]

Yes... it was the Medium Canter and the circle after it!!

Oh my......can't imagine what that would look like?!

(pics please **snigger**)

 

[lizzie_liz]

Hard luck bbmat but your 0's did put a smile on my face, I think he wanted to make dressage a lot more interesting!

 

[mat]

He he it was quite interesting lizzie_liz!

FMC- he had just finished when I got to the lorry so no pics Im afraid!!!

 

[Bossanova]

What a little devil! Sounds like a test you'd rather forget...

 

[Partoow]

Thats impressive!! You have to try really hard to get a zero!!!!

I found it the same with my young stallion, at first he was kind of nieve and then he realised that show=totty and a chance to show just how GORGEOUS he was!!!!
It gets better , he'll get over himself soon.
Until then keep up the good work

 

[Bananaman]

Oh no!

I've been checking in regularly waiting for the good news and then this!

I'm so sorry Mat. Perhaps next time you could provide him with a lady friend half an hour or so before his test. Can you just imagine?!!!

Seriously, I'm gutted for you. I know how badly you wanted to do well.

 

[FREESTYLER]

Well at least you know he has got some spunk/spirit in him...!!!always a great plus for dressage!!! I must admit I did have a giggle too.... imagining him getting rather frustrated... bless him...!!! I am sure he wanted to just say "look at me"! Not quite the right moment though eh??!! Male hormones for ya!! tehe!! Well done for sitting it though...I am sure it was a little hairraising.... you have much to come from him I am sure!

 

[mat]

I like all the spunk/ "come" innuendo's!!!! lol!

We have all had a laugh about it here!

I have lots more in the pipeline and a few nice youngsters coming through next year so it will be nice to take the pressure off him a bit!

Thatnks for the comment partoow! He is like a different horse in the winter, so watch this space!

I'm glad I didnt wear my top hat as its a bit loose and I'm convinced it would have flown off while I was being thrown about!

 

[Worried1]

Sounds quite exciting though - maybe you could invent a new freestyle test???
Sure there are plenty of us who would appreciate marks for leaving the ground, spooking, rearing, bucking, spinning etc

Sorry to hear he was a bit full of himself he was obviously limbering up for his show jumping career!

 

[mat]

The thing was I warmed him up for an hour!!!! He should have been on his knees!!

I think I wore myself out more than him!!

 

[Tempi]

You're not doing Wellington Elementary Restricted are you? if so i wont bother going!!!!!!

Shame he was a naughty boy

 

[dieseldog]

Naughty Pony. If you want I'll bring Dolly along to the next show and he can relieve his tension on her. They would have lovely babies.

 

[carthorse]

HORSES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[not_with_it]

I can honestly say I know how you feel.

Maybe we could start a losers club

Hope you have a better time at the area festivals.

Nope I'm open.. not that you'd have anything to worry about given our current performances!!

 

[_jetset_]

I'm with you PG, I would hate to come up against quite a few people on this forum. Then again, you are also one of them

I hope the Areas go well for you... where abouts are you doing them and what classes are you doing?
