Well took Godfrey with Icestationzebras lovely mare Jemima stressaging today. After getting seriously lost, finally arrived, with dizzy ponies from turning round a few times...

. Got warmed up, G's eyes on stalks at the cows and scary men in yellow coats walking around the fields, but after a few argumentative moments, went in for first test (p18). G was very distracted, but did what I wanted, where I wanted, even though had some funny shapes where he suddenly got distracted, he did some lovely trot work, and was generally obedient, if tense.... but came out with 57% which was to be expected, but bit disappointed with judges comments, as just very negative throughout!!

Anyway, put that behind us and went in for next test (p12) and was alot more settled, and actually managed decent shapes! Anyway, got 61% and came 6t out of 15, so very chuffed with him!

And some lovely comments from the judge. So overall a positive day, as gone away with alot to work on for suture, and very pleased with the cow pony!!

Will let ISZ tell you how she got on...

Only ISZ and I there, so no-one to act as photographer...

They looked like theyd been hunting by the time we'd warmed up in flooded arena!!

he is very chilled, went out for a bit of a play earlier and seemed to be happy to be out,

wasnt too happy when i took hector out for a hack, but decided i am going to try and get him used to him leaving from the beginning, only went for 10 minutes, and he wasnt too bad when i got back, so will see how it goes, as i keep them both at home it is a nightmare if i cant seperate them,

getting teeth, back and toes done next week and then the serious stuff begins

ooooh was this at elms farm by any chance?!

i was there today and we were completely caked in mud after that warm up arena! lol so much for cleaning tack and washing pony's white socks! My pony's eyes also popped out at the cows, lol

well done sounds like you had a good day!
 
had a really good day for once lol came 6th in P18 and 4th in P12. i did see your lovely coloured horse, he's stunning!!

btw, for the second class because it was a trailblazer qualifier we should have gotten forms to fill in shouldn't we? did you get one? when i got my sheet there weren't any forms and the woman i asked said she didn't know where they were kept! going to ring on monday and get them to send me one!
 
Ah I asaw you in the warm up when we were tearing around with head in the air!?!?!? Yes I got a form.... give them a ring.... well done on your results!!
