So bit of a long report today!
Was looking through my photos and found a comp I hadn't reported on with J.
Have a question about height of jump in picture also!
So usual story with him, we entered 80,90,1m
And he was a little star! He seems to have really turned a corner this year, he is normally either brilliant or awful but I feel like I am seeing less of the awful and more of the brilliant!
I am having a XC clinic on Monday, I hope to event him but he will be 16 next year although extremely low mileage so would like to do a few Be80's/unaff ODE's.
So back to be jumping, 80 didn't have many entries so results of horses and ponies were combined. Java did a fast DC but cannot match the super turns of a 12.2hh (well done to pony rider she did a great round) we came 2nd.
90cm he had 4 faults in jump off and was 1st as no other clears. Where the trailers leave go right past full length of arena and a trailer came down right as I was jumping a line down the side and he spotted it and just backed off a wee bit and caught the planks behind!
Next was the 1m - it was the biggest 1m I have ever jumped so was a bit nervous, but my horse is such a superstar and even when I managed to bury him into the fences at some points, he jumped the most fantastic DC, so so proud of how far he has come to when I first bought him! Another 1st

This is the fence I was worried about! As you can see I nearly got pinged off! Pic above is from 1st round below is from jump off
It just felt and looked so much bigger than 1m!
So onto trailer test question. What is involved in the trailer test? I am planning on saving up to take my test. I have only driven it on the road once (yesterday!) on L plates with my dad teaching me and it was better than I thought but just getting used to a big wide box behind me will take some getting used to! I did two reverse manouveres yesterday but are there specific manouveres you can get in the test?
Now onto Abbie. Abbie is having some x rays on Monday. I don't want to say too much such about symptoms/where x rayed as bit nervous of hearing what it could be. I'm currently devastated that there could be something serious and she is only 5 I'm just praying its something simple
Sorry for the long report and someone fill me with happy thoughts!!!!
