Where to start?! It's been a fun one!
Sat: Off to Speedgate to do the Novice and Elem on Finnus.
He was a tense little git in the novice, just wouldn't go forwards in to the contact, but amazingly came out 2nd...in the open section
Elem much better - but as usual i didn't learn the whole test and had to yell at poor Twiglet as i was lost!
Judge even commented at the end "you didn't know your test did you?" Mmmm there's a pattern forming here. Goodness knows how i will cope next weekend having to learn 4 tests
Got 59. something...but as seems so common in Elem at the moment, there was only 1 above 60% when i left
Saw lots of old friends from Kent and was a lovely sunny day too
Sun: Harolds Park with Starry Night.
Now, Starry and I fell out big time 2 weeks ago at Norton Heath, resulting in us coming last on 50%
but today she was a changed pony. Did a lovely, supple and quite attentive test. Needed to be more forwards, but we're getting there
Came 5th in Prelim (despite me halting in the wrong place and losing another 2 marks
) and 4th in the Novice, with a big fat first point
Was lovely to see JoC, Katie-jaye, Rachelskeff and ofcourse thanks to Twiglet for once again having her weekend dedicated to grooming for me
and no OH at home to wonder where i was all weekend....bliss
