This thread is great I am loving reading about all your adventures. Congratulations on your placings.
Whoop whoop! Keep going! It's all in the process of education! Neither of you have done such work before and now you know what else you need to work on at home.
You’ll be jumping at Olympia before you know it!
Aww well done and you sound like you’re having a ball - what else do you want from your horse. Keep it coming!

Yep !! You've started exactly where I did three years ago (you're doing WAY better than I was). We are now doing affilliated elementary. I'm 45 so no spring chicken and my cob was an uneducated freebie !Update.... and time to boast a little...
Minor op was cancelled. Doctor says see me again in 3 months.
Miraculously a suitable box was advertised, seen and purchased.
I chickened out on the Championships, it was a bit too far away with a new vehicle.
So today another walk and trot test. We were first to go ( errrrr... ) and C was a little more spritely than usual, however she was good in the test and amazingly we came 1st. Although again there were not many entrants I am still in shock. My instructor said ‘ Canter practice, a Prelim next’.
Oh my goodness, I am still searching for a cross poles SJ competition but as I said at the start
This can’t go on any longer...
Can it?
Hope you go well x x
Winter makes it hard for lots of people to get out and about to compete...

You're doing so well, keep up the good work x x

Excellent. Foucs on the positives - for every negative though or comment find yourself two positives.
And remember its not 'only a 60cm' its a competition that you have worked hard for.
Enjoy
This! I’m terrible for putting myself down for only wanting to do 60cm stuff. I know I need to push myself but can’t quite bring myself to just yet!
Keep up the good work! It's lovely to see someone enjoying their horse through thick and thin and isn't afraid to admit their faults and perceived failures!
