Hi All

After a horrid week dad gave me the push I needed (kick up the ass) to go to Royal Leisure the first one outdoors.
Decided to go straight in at New and although I rode like a complete prat managed to come out with 4 faults, big thanks to my lovely Saf who came to the rescue of a mum with no brain

In the gap between classes thought about letting the pro ride her again (medstead a few weeks ago) but dad said "she's your horse get on and ride her" so I did.
The warm up was goping well till a mad horse nearly crashed into us whilst jumping the oxer (hopefully can load vid in gallery) so went in full of nerves with everyone telling us how lucky we had been. Something clicked as this time I rode a bit??? better and we went clear and had 2 down in the jump off

Thanks Saf for being my number one and thanks for reading

love your girl! Well done. Perhaps you need a bit of adrenalin! Would be a pathetic wimp - more than usual - after that moment.
 
Well done Claire and super Saf.

OMG just watched the vid!! doesnt bear thinking about what could have happened.

Where are you going next?

Saf looks fab in the pics.
