Tension in Dressage

My trainer announced we were now aiming at GP the other week and kira responded by doing her first on-the-move poo *ever*
I take it she has recognised that GP horses can poo and trot at the same time.
I let them stop at home because of the issue with picking up poo shrapnel but it sure as hell backfires in competition 🙄

Did you have to give her a kick? ************runs and hides*************
 
Now I'm sitting here in tears..........of laughter. You, Ma'am, are a genius!!!

And, apparently, the Queen. Nobody's ever called me Ma'am before. I'm not sure whether to say "Sir is acceptable in a crunch" ("It's not crunch time yet, Mr Kim"), or to put on a head scarf and take Fergus for a hack :eek:
 
Is there also something about pooing being a sign of them starting to release over the back?

I don't know how your horse releases, but mine is grey and I can definitely confirm she releases down her hocks (and tail) rather than her back ;)
