Regionals warm up BD report.

[TayloredEq]

Well I had a great day today. Took my stallion out for a pre regional warm up. It was his first competition since October.

Entered the novice 22 HC as not really interested in the mark more his behaviour, manners and manouverability.

i was really please with him, we broke in 1 medium trot, tripped on a circle so they affected the mark. Then in the free walk he decided to whinny, but was really pleased that when I told him to pay attention he did and carried on walking away from the door on a long rein, in the past he would have told me that he'd rather go where he wants to go!!

Anyway, ended up with just under 70% so pleased.

Took some pics for his stud card so thought I'd give it a go and try posting some on here. Fingers crossed they work. This is my first try so they might not....!!

Hope they work!!

 

[TayloredEq]

Must remember to keep my head up!!!

 

[mitchellk]

Wow he's a nice chap! Good luck in the regionals.

 

[TayloredEq]

Thank you Katycrunch!!

 

[kick_On]

and straighten back

WOW so lush

 

[TayloredEq]

think back will straighten when head comes up!!

 

[mitchellk]

I am normally hanging my head in shame- you def have no excuse for that!

 

[Bossanova]

He really is totally stunning- could you please shrink him a couple of inches so my 15.2 can have his babies?!!

 

[TayloredEq]

he's only 16.3! And an absolute gentleman!! apparently he likes to lick the mares first!!

Beautiful stallion, and dont panic about your position, its hard to sit perfectly when you are riding a youngster, I would love to see most riders sit one side of a young stallion and sit half as well as you!

Did you ride him in a national young dressage horse qualifier at that venue last year? I think I remember you!

 

[TayloredEq]

No, didn't do Kingswood last year. He was 7th at the Nationals in the 5yo class.

Only did 3 shows last year, the yh qualifier, the nationals and swallowfield to qualify fo the Nfs.

Also had him at the equine pathway selection if you were there?

He is beautiful

And I agree, if you look up, then I think you will find the whole picture looks complete

I don't think I know anything about him... who is he by? how old? etc etc

 

[TayloredEq]

by the way thanks for kind words re position!!!

I think you get stuck in that protective position and then you have to remember to get out of it!!

 

[carthorse]

Which classes is he doing at regionals ,how is he bred , how old?
He looks gorgeous

 

[mat]

Wow impressive result!

What classes are you doing at the regionals with him?

 

[mat]

D'oh just reaslise dyour doing the NFS!

 

[TayloredEq]

Becki 2003, Don't want to get accused of advertising!! But he's by Fidermark, 6 years old.

He's the one I was suggesting you came to watch at Myerscough re the freestyle but I'm on a 7.30am !! so doubt it will be poss.

 

[_jetset_]

7.30am

He is a really lovely looking stallion, and certainly had that 'wow' factor in my eyes

 

[TayloredEq]

thank you everyone!! It's really nice to hear such lovely compliments about him.

 

[Halfstep]

He's beautiful. Such a gorgeous colour as well! My friend has a liver chestnut gelding by Fidermark and he looks very similar!

Good luck at the regionals!!!

 

[LauraT]
