So very proud of sister and Sunny - who says cob can't do dressage!

[Pidge]

Just had to share how proud I am of sister and Sunny, 3 years since she had him and he now does this

No photos I'm afraid but will try to get videos uploaded tomorrow.
She did the BHS Starter dressage yesterday
came 1st in the walk and trot with 72.78% out of 12.
came 1st in prelim 1 with 63.68% out of 8.
And then tonight it was normal dressage and she
came 1st in the walk and trot with 75% out of 12.
came joint 2nd in prelim 4 with 68.6% out of 16.
Not bad for the hairy beasty eh?, especially as he isn't really a typical dressage horse

Well done!

Well Done your sis and Sunny! He is the most gorgeous colour.

Ahh, he is beautiful! I really like his conformation. Well done to him and your sis.

 

[Pidge]

thanks, Sis understandably is absolutely chuffed to bits

In the prelim last night there was a lot of very nice horses so to beat them was fab

and to think I had to bully her into doing the prelim as she was like "but my canter isn't good enough"

wow that's fantastic, well done your sis and sunny - yeah!

Well done! Where was this dressage? As I am looking for somewhere to get my show cob back into the swing of things after a couple of months off from showing?
Thanks!

Not bad considering when she first had him she struggled to get him to canter a 20m circle

Fantastic. Love Sunny's photo too, he looks great.

You would be suprised how many trads do well at dressage at local level and above.

Jemima my first gypsy cob often used to do well and won several classes much to the annoyance of those on the "proper dressage" horses.

I hope Chancer is going to do the same, we hope to do our first walk and trot next year.

Well done and he is a lovely chap.

that's fantastic! well done her - I know how hard it is to do dressage on a cob, and to teach them to go nicely, she really does deserve a pat on the back! and well done to sunny too!
