It was our RC league day today and we did prelim4 and 14,scoring 59% and 60.8%,coming 3rd in both PLeased with the result but didnt think I had him going very well, he was hollow at parts and I know we have done better at home,but thats always the way isnt it please excuse the hogged-zebra look he is sporting,his mane is the bane of my life!

and onto the SJ, Ive had a bit of a confidence problem to work through and havent done as big as 80cm since I had my old horse,2 years ago. I had a fall last April jumping and the fear of having a stop and coming off has been getting to me.Anyway, as you'lsee in the vid I had to face up to it today! Have no idea what was up with him in the 70cm, but I had a moment after it when I almost pulled out of the 80cm,however I still have a dream of doing a BE80 one day so thought if I cant get over this and get on with it, I might as well give up on that. So you'l see in the vid what happened...

ok,messy jump off,but still :D:D:D
 
Well done! I think he stopped because he could sense your nerves? I think it's really good you just got on with it afterwards :). You looked a bit backwards thinking going round (nerves?), I noticed because I sometimes do the same, just looked as though he was having to get in close before take off. Rythm will probably get better as you get more confident and get out more :). Good job though :) :)
 
Looking good! :) I love the mane, well done in the dressage.

You certainly got into it in the 80cm, well done! Perhaps its one of those weeks where everyone faces their nerves! :D

He is absolutly stunning btw, I love duns!
