Royal Leisure BSJA....

[Hattikins]

Took Hattie first show after being off work with a bruised sole since beginning of september. Shes only been back in work a week or so but we thought it would do her some good to pop round a clear round and if all went well a british novice.

Well she was extremely happy to be out and about and flew round the clear round just dislodging the planks (rider error

)

So we entered for the British novice and you really wouldnt have known she hadnt jumped indoors since february and hadnt jumped a course of jumps since september - she popped round for a clear

very pleased with my girlie

About 12 went clear and i guessed a i had little chance of a placing as she is a bit like driving a tank when she gets motoring!!!!!!!! So went into the jump off just looking for a double clear to start the season off nicely and as planned she produced a lovely clear not touching a thing

we werent particularly fast or so i thought (forgetting that she takes one stride to everyone elses two) i was very surprised and really pleased with the girlie when she was announced as 4th!!!!!!!!!!

really pleased, not only did we get our first BN double clear but our first BN placing too

sorry terribly self indulgent post but seeing as i put a post up saying i was going i wasnt going to keep you all guessing as to how we did

Yay ! Well done ! It's always nice to get your first DC out of the way

Was it very busy being a tuesday ?

 

[Hattikins]

Thankyou!!

yes very satisfying

No there was hardly anyone there!!!!!!!! only about 20 in the BN and about 12 in the disc. so very quiet!

so quiet that there was enough space in the car park for me to take Hattie for some water practise through their large puddles

 

[Rambo]

LOL!

Yes, their car park does get a little 'swamp like' in the winter doesn't it
