Tam's second event! We went in for the kill, and entered the PN, not with much confidence, but it all turned out okay
So we got there nice and early, and I walked the course, which was nice for a Pre-Novice, big, but not very technical, apart from a combo of houses, downhill, with a very short one in between, plus you couldn't see the second part until you were jumping the first.
Then I was the stressage, which I was
about, because I got 45 in the Intro at WWEC, and this was a level up from that so eeeek! It wasn't too bad, though, I was happy with it, and decided I would settle for 40.
Then re-walked XC with Mum and my firend who was in my section, and then checked scores for stressage. And I was so shocked!
I got 31.5!!!
So really couldn't c*ck it up SJ now. SJ was big, and distances were long, so my nails seriously shortened as I tacked up and got ready! She warmed in well, except for a stop, which woke me up. Then went in, and flew round for a clear. Plus all my friends at Stonar gave a round of applause, which put a smile on my face
So yes, I was currently in 4th, and was in contention for a rozzie, but now I still had the chance to muck it up XC. She warmed up fabulously (over the Novcie fence, that I hadn't seen anyone else jump...) and fklew around. Almost too quick! It was a very short course, and she did jump beautifully, so I don't mind a bit of speed!
So YAY I finished on 31.5, and moved up a place, as the person in second met a sticky end XC.
Dead chuffed, as I go a huge rosette, and some exercise bandages. And I was like, probably the highest placed kid from a state school
YAYAYAYAY! Best weekend ever!
