I’ll rewind to end of Jan - vale view high profile sort of went to plan! Sat was a great day, nice clear round just shy of 66% in the psg so lots of regionals points. I made a pigs ear of the canter half pass which was totally my fault. Sunday he felt epic in the warm up but he ad libbed a fair amount of the psg in favour of his own moves for a not too disastrous 63.something%, annoyingly just shy of regionals points which we can do with our eyes shut. I was still really pleased with the tempo which is more consistent and the changes are so much straighter.

We squeezed in a lesson which was super useful, quite a few hacks. Hes feeling VERY fit 🙈

Went to Fieldhouse last Sunday - inter 1 music rode nicely just little bits I must tidy up for 70%+ and then a couple of fudged bits by me in the psg for 67%+ 😄 he was really well behaved, another af music sheet plus the rest of our summer regionals points ✅

Wub, I love my pony.
After dressage last week, we had a great jumping session last night where he jumped 1.20 and tried so, so, hard.

I really appreciate how easy he is to take out by himself, in the dark and get home after 9pm- not a hint of drama from him which I sometimes take for granted.

Fab picture and agree with you re appreciating a horse you can take out easily on your own.

Sometimes I think we (I!!) get wrapped up in what we want to improve and work on but actually I really just enjoyed spending the evening with him last night.
Pottering about in the lorry, chatting to him while we were watching others jump on their turn and having a cuddle when we finished- and he was searching for treats as knew he'd been good!

I’m definitely at that point. Still have champs we want to qualify for and do this year but going out to lessons or shows is really just spending time with my mate.
