showjumping today... pride comes before a fall

[dopeesophee]

went to showjumping today
she has been jumping really well at home; all the fillers and water tray

she loaded first time and was really happy
warmed up well
went into the clear round to get her round the course and over the fillers etc

she jumped really really really well, was a bit hesitant at some but she jumped them and i was so happy... got a clear round rosette

went into the 70
and she jumped an amazing clear..
i really clicked with her today
and there was only 4 in the jo for juniors
so i think i started to think this could be the day

but i jumped the first and then made the turn for the fourth
she decided to hesitate and then shoot sideways ... cue the fall

i went to get back on but i was made to leave the arena.. and i wasnt allowed to go back in and jump the one she stopped at

but i guess i have to think positively about the fact she jumped so well

i will put the pic of my fall up in pg later :L:L

but it wasnt a hard turn for her, ive done alot harder :Sit was so annoying, i spoke to mum and the person who came second went really slow.. and the first person wasnt that quick.. so if id of made the turn i would of been 1st or 2nd
