took my young lad out to his first "proper" stressage today. he has done a couple of low key local events, but today was his first real test....it was held in an indoor school, which he has never worked in before... he went in fine, then he spooked at the flower pots, pranced and snorted his way up the arena, saw himself in the mirror and went into meltdown!!! the test got worse!! cantering on the spot and bouncing sideways....but somehow we still came out with 58% and the comment "active paces" !!! oh well, back to the same venue next month....surely it can't get worse!!?
we did get some positive comments such as "correct paces" - when he did behave!! and got a few 7's through the sheet, TBH i expected 3's and 4's!! and one lovely comment worded "nice to see a rider using the seat and not hanging onto the mouth in difficult moments!!"
