Saturdays show results

[Kelly1982]

We went to Cobham Manor on Saturday, the place was really nice and had some scary fillers for our second show.

I warmed up for the 85cm and Senza was being a complete cow, she wasn't listening to anything i was saying and really trying to evade me. We went into our class and just got a little too close to 2 and had them down, wasn't too disappointed and they were just babyish mistakes and she jumped the rest of the round nice.

Decided as there wasn't a lot of people i the warm up to use it as an opportunity to get some decent schooling out of her. Finally she started to listen and work really nicely. Took her into the 95cm and it was game over from fence one, she tanked into the first jump and had it down, then proceeded to fly round at the speed of light with a 'i know what i am doing' attitude. By number 5 we had 4 down

so decided to pull her up, take her for a trot round and chill her out. Trotted up to number 6 and we jumped the rest of the course clear.

Still really pleased with her though as she didn't bat an eyelid at any of the jumps and apart from thinking she knew best in the ring she behaved impeccably all day being tied up etc and enjoyed tea and cakes with us at the box afterwards

I think it was my fault in a way as i hadn't jumped her in 2 weeks and then took her to a show (bit of a last minute thing) so cant blame her for being excited

Oh dear

Sounds like she's still very excited by everything, and as you say, she hasn't jumped for a while, so was making the most of it. She'll calm down as she matures though i'm sure...she's only a baby

Was that BSJA btw ?

 

[Kelly1982]

No it was unaffiliated, i was meant to be doing the 95cm & the 1.05 though but there was no entries for the 1.05. Glad i didn't though as she was just too excited and would of probably ended up hurting herself.

They are meant to be holding BSJA there but they haven't really advertised it very well so there is hardly anyone going at the moment (biggest class had about 7 people in it

)

Hi Kelly. Glad you had fun. Yes the fillers are scary aren't they. It's the cow print one that normally freaks them out.

The shows have been quiet at Cobham everytime i've been. It's a shame as the facilities are quite nice.

If you fancy going out to a party next week, Duckhurst trailblazer is on Sunday. I'm hopefully going with my boy.

Hi ya

The cow print one was number 1

I thought that was a bit harsh but she didn't bat an eyelid luckily!!!

The facilities at Cobham are nice, i love rubber sand schools but they just dont advertise enough i dont think. Maybe when word gets around they will get a bit busier.

I doubt i will go Duckhurst coz i cant get there

Have to pinch a ride when i can as i dont have my own transport

 

[so03]

It's a real pain not having transport.

I used to hire a trailer to go out a couple of times a year. Got really fed up with it and got a loan and a trailer within the space of a week. So nice now can decide to go out whenever I like.

Aren't you looking to get a trailer or am I confusing you with someone else? One of the best decisions I've made.

 

[Kelly1982]

Yeah i am looking into getting a trailer but i cant do that until my car finance is paid off which wont be until next year.

I wanna sell it now though coz my car just keeps getting damaged for some reason (not by me i'm glad to add) and its just getting ruined down the yard but if i dont wait til its sold i will just be getting myself into more debt so the sensible thing to do is wait.

Its so frustrating though as i want to do different things to everyone i get lifts off of but have to go with the flow.
