Haha! Just logged on to see times for dressage on Friday. See at least one other HHOer is entered ;) along with the rest of the world - 24 in each Novice!

Blinking class finishes with Charlotte Dujardin on MSJ VIP. Think we'll be a tad out classed...Me and my great ideas :D:D:D

haha :lol:

All good points. No, she's in gold and I'm Novice silver, phew! No chance of any prize money this time out though! :D :D
 
Coooool. One of the things I really like about equestrian sports like this is a (relative) amateur rider can compete against Olympic riders. Now I realise that doesn't make it very competitive maybe, but how fab to be able to do that.

And yes, you are right, I agree with this and I liked competing against the pros when I was eventing too.
Does make the warm up a little daunting though... especially as my pony seems to view cantering sideways out of control as an appropriate warm up technique at the venue in question ;)
 
Just got back from Summerhouse. Weather was Beautiful. Dujardin's horse seems to have some sideway gears...I suppose they did earn their medals...:eek3:
:)
 
Haha me too! Couldn't stay for too long so didn't see loads of Charlotte, and I think I managed to miss all of the HHO peeps! So glad I didn't enter, stiff competition lol ;) Hope everyone competing enjoyed their day!!

lovely pictures, I think it's fab you can go out for a normal class and end up sharing a warm up with the big guys. Not quite Olympic but we get the mount St. John stud out in our area and I could seriously just watch them in action and warming up all day, we were in a couple of novice classes with one of their 4 year olds, not entirely sure what that horse must have thought as my fell pony trotted past it in the warm up but it made me sit up a bit straighter and kick on that's for sure!
 
Aw thanks! Yep I did - shooting into the sun though which is always fun lol :p Such a gorgeous little horse.
