On Saturday I took the beast to CWA to jump a couple of classes. On paper this went very badly but I am calling it a good day anyway.
Jumped the 80cm class clear (you'd hope so really with legs like his!) and just rolled a pole in the jump off to come fifth. There were no fillers anywhere in this class so it was all very easy for the beast.
I have bought this photo from the jump off just because he looks jolly really and because the light is nice but it is wrong to post photos so here is the link instead

and here he is with his frilly
in the 90cm class I managed to get us eliminated. We stopped at a wall and a filler ( I knew he would he has hardly ever seen things like that and he popped them second time no quibble so I don't really care, it will come with practice) which was no big deal but I also got the poor sod so wrong to a fence he couldn't possibly jump it so he just had to stop. We were allowed to finish so it was a good schooling round for us. I have heard Prestige equestrian have very bright fillers so think I am going to pop down there for CR to give him a look at them all. He has such a nice attitude bless him, he just needs a bit more exposure to all the scary jump4joy fillers which exist these days I also managed to throw hot tea all over him which, to his great credit, he didn't bury me for. He's a nice chap
And today we went to the beach. I've never done that before. It was awesome. He doesn't much like the sea but he jumped the break waters happily enough
so that's my weekend. Feel free to add your own report if you want to!!
