Tattersalls 2* Videos - Sarnita

[Sarah_Jane]

I bought the DVD from Playback Sports (cost an arm and a leg) but I did manage to get them to throw in an upload to You Tube. Well it is finally on so for anyone that is interested

They only missed out about 3 fences. They started at fence 2. You will see she was adding the odd stride which I think is part of her not being 100% at the time. However she made a fairly tough 2* course look fairly easy. Problem fences were 4 the quarry where lots stopped going in, 10 steps up, log to corner and last water where 9 fell and nearly 20 had penalties of sorts.

Not at her best here and an uncharecteristic mistake nearly causes me to go splat! A brilliant round from her considering she wasn't finding it easy.

Lovely horse and you make a great team

Well done sarnie and well done you for staying on board . Fingers crossed for her recovery

Well sat in the SJ, rewound and watched the oops fence a few times and there was nothing wrong about the approach at all, just one of those things (although I know you have found issues since). The XC was poetry in motion, even tho she was not 100%.

Yes we have watched it a few times as you can imagine. The warning bells started to ring as she has hit a few other fences in exactly the same manner with exactly the same leg! The xc was fab

She is such a lovely mare and you have a great partnership.

Interesting how she swaps off/"double foots" jumping off the right lead at first. At the fence she gets in trouble at she doesn't get time to do her patented move and she just can't get that leg up.

I know you don't need some fool off the internet to tell you, but kudos for looking into the whole thing on a "feeling" and not just ignoring it until something more drastic showed up. I'm sure they'll have her back up and running in no time.

Sarnie made the x/c look easy, ears pricked all the time, both of you were just brilliant. She'll be back to that form and better in no time, I just know it.

Thanks ever so much for sharing those video's, it's great to see the xc especially as I'm really keen on competing there myself, it looked a beautiful course and your horse looked effortless round it. Really well done.

I wonder if you may be able to assist me Sarah-Jane. I'm looking at going to Tatts to do the CCI 1* next year, but I have no idea on how much to budget for. PM me if you prefer. Any help would be gratefully received. Thank you.

She looks fab , hope she gets better soon

 

[OneInAMillion]

Very well sat! She does look good though and she makes the SJ look like 2ft9!

 

[Hels_Bells]

I loved watching your XC video. She just takes it all in her stride, what a lovely girl!! Well done both of you!

She's awesome SJ. Hope she is back fighting fit soon. Shows what a partnership you are that you instinctively knew when something wasn't right.

I can't take all the credit my trainer Caroline Creighton saw her and was also totally convinced something was amiss. My instinct said it was but also on the other hand I wasn't sure whether she was just getting a bit older and lazier.

Damn work blocking YouTube! Will watch later. I hope she heals with some treatment/rest and is back fighting fit next season as I love reading about your adventures and seeing your photos.
