So nervous about my first ever dressage test tomorrow

[Perfect_Pirouette]

Am soooo nervous. Had a lesson this afternoon and went through test and it went really well. Cannot believe how much of a difference changing his feed has made! He is SO much more forward now. We're doing prelim 12.

But yeh, lesson went well, apart from we crashed through and demolished the arena at one point, lol flowerpots flying and the white boards, oops!!! And he's started to get a bit strong in canter, but apart from that great lesson!!

I'm going out tonight too, wich i know isn't great to do night before show, but bugger it, i need a drink and i very much doubt a hangover will make much difference.

Wish me luck people, piccys and report tomorrow!

Good luck!!

If it helps you feel better about going out and getting drunk - my friend went out drinking, got 3 hours sleep. Got to the yard still drunk, worked horse in for 5 mins, came 2nd in her test out of about 40 people!! It was her horses 2nd test as well. I was not impressed as i had spend ages preparing and my horse decided he didn't want to behave and came second to last

I'm taking my girly out for her very first walk / trot test tomorrow - this will be her first ever show - she's only 12!!!

We haven't got as far as sorting her canter out enough to be doing any prelims yet.

I was supposed to be having my friend come with me tomorrow to act as photographer - but now she has backed out, and I'm not going to have any photos to prove I went out

So if anyone is round west cornwall tomoz, please can they come by and take pictures of me please

As I said to you on fb....good luck missy! I'm sure you won't need it, and remember the joy of being on your own yard is that it's Mr G's home so you won't have the added worry of him arsing about at the new surroundings lol x
