It was lovely to see you again :D (Twice in less than a week - this is getting to be a habit ;) )

I saw them warming up for SJ, that horse is enooooormous!! :eek:

Excellent result for his first 90, and after so long since his first run too. You must both be very chuffed :)

You too, must 'meet up' again soon:)

He certainly is a big lad, thankfully a true gentle giant who loves humans, couldn't cope with him otherwise:D

We are very pleased just hope it can continue in the same direction:)
 
Fab report and photos! Well done! We were there but somehow didn't see you or DK - surprising as such an enormous horse surely would have stood out from the crowd?! I wasn't in a very observant mood, clearly.

Dressage scoring there seemed a bit odd to my untutored eye. Lots in the mid 20s, mid 30s and mid 40s, but not very evenly spread otherwise! I wondered if the judges had all agreed to take one look at each combination and go, "ah, this is a 7/8 horse" or "ah, this is a 5/6 horse". :rolleyes: I'm sure they didn't but I was looking for excuses as I felt hard done-by with my score :D

Massive well done for the XC clear. I fell off at fence 1 (don't ask :confused: Bill was one of several loose horses that galloped back to the lorry park during the afternoon :mad:) so I rather envy DK his ride XC.
 
Wow, he doesn't look 19hh with DK on him, but he makes the 90 fences look like trotting poles! Sounds like he's making a good start to his eventing career :)

Thank you. Dressage is always a mystery to me:rolleyes: such a shame about your xc, but you weren't the only one to have a problem at the first
