Again, CRAP dressage judging.. so i wont even go into that!!!
mad.gif
Apart from, the STUPID writer for the judge who thought that a good time to wave her hand out the window shaking a bell, would be right as i'm trotting up to the car (intro = baby horses) so she scares the life out of poor Socks who then wont go anywhere near the car

Socks did a green test but nothing wrong to score a 37, with a crap mark for our entry and a comment saying " reluctant to face C".. well you tell me why that is then!!!

ShowJumping.. was really pleased with this, he did have one down, but it was the smallest fence in there, and i don't think he felt it needed any effort

XC, Started out fab!! he really has learnt to go forwards and is taking everything on
grin.gif
that is untill he got to fence 9.. 9 was an abc of steps up, he jumped up 'a' and 'b' fine but just infront of 'c' was a rather large puddle which he wouldn't go anywhere near (having done the actual water fine)

Anyway, the fence judge was great and gave me more than enough time, but i just couldn't get him anywhere near it.. so he has a big 'E' by his name!! not good for when i try to sell him properly

Anyway, next up Orla...
Dressage, Orla is the origional dressage queen and kept up to this standard today, doing what i thought was a fab test!! again the judge disagreed and gave us a 36
mad.gif
(this horse has done 24 dressage before, and i thought did a better test today), anyway, we'll gloss over that.. (the judge wrote 'rather tense' for the long rein walk.. Orla couldn't do 'tense' if you shoved a bomb up her arse)..

ShowJumping

She was Fab
grin.gif
and is really starting to understand this whole jumping game, and gave me a fab clear round!!

XC, well i said i was going to bat for England all the way round, and i did.. but i didn't have to as much as i thought i would, and she jumped the dreaded fence 4 (the one that was taken out for the PN, and was only slightly smaller for the intro)
grin.gif
She hasn't quite got the idea of XC yet, not really understanding how to gallop into fences.. so she got 8 time faults..

Anyway, a double clear with an ok dressage and a few too many time faults was still good enough for 8th place.. Good girl Orla!!

Well done Orla!!!
See, she's a clever girl really

Shame about Socks- you got to the same place as me- pretty view from those steps isnt it?

Did you manage to pick up my sheet?
 
I was going up them, so the only view i had was the reflection off the oh so scary puddle!! Stupid horse!!

I did indeed get your test.. and although i obviously didn't watch it, i can tell that you had a stupid judge too.. they pretty much gave you straight 5s all the way down, no variation on marks at all!!!

Jesus christ!!
Wish I had someone to video it as she did not deserve 5s bar for maybe 3 movements. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr

Well done with Orla, shame about socks, its weird some horses will do the water fine but you ask them to go through a puddle and they wont. Its crazy
 
Fantastic!! Really well done with Orla

Bless Socks - its the most obscure things that youngsters decide they cant possibly quantify!! Hattie was the same with a puddle the other day- she went XC schooling and one of the fences was a drop down to a triple brush skinny (without the brush in it!) and she decided that because there was a puddle infront of the skinny she had to go round the puddle thus meaning she ran out and couldnt possibly jump the fence!!!!!
 
Oh well done Hon!
Shame about the little mishap with Socks, but that will come.
Im chuffed to bits with Orla tho, thats excellent stuff.
