Thankee-you muchly for my apostrophe. I saw, I noted, I appreciated. It was the best part about my test.
 
I saw your score. That's quite an achievement! But ignoring the dressage (which is what I normally have to do) everything went OK?
 
Good that they realised he should have one, it's a shame BE refused to use one, I remember the argument you had trying to get it in his name, as for the score I guess it is yet another milestone in the HotToTrot saga.

Love the photo, he looks cheeky tucking up so tight in front knowing exactly how much effort is required to get over the fence, the dressage may be the weak link but his xc must be giving you such pleasure and confidence.
 
OMG, that is an awesome dressage score.
Nearly the same as Charlottes at Hartpury.
That was % right ?!!!!
 
Not sure where on earth to start with a report! I mean, I have a high threshold for the ridiculous, but this one took the biscuit in terms of logistical complexity.

Yes, I think the zero reflected the fact that I cantered on the wrong lead - so where it said "transition to left canter from walk" - well, there wasn't really a transition to left canter from walk.

I thought that someone from on here must have been writing and given me an apostrophe after they'd read about my plight!

I think it was a weekend for ridiculous logistics! I started packing my car on Saturday only to notice the £80 of diesel just put in it was actually running down the yard from the split fuel line......

No parts available at short notice for geriatric Japanese 4x4s......

You did have a far better weekend than me though!!
 
Is it just me or is everyone speaking in code? I have no idea what is going on! (or went on!?!?!)

No clue. Although, to be fair, this thread is addressed to one person (the dressage writer) so it's not surprising we are in the dark :) Hopefully the OP will be along any moment now, armed with 0's, correct 's and even perhaps an actual comp report heheh...
 
Well when I first registered Vito with BE, they wouldn't let me put the apostrophe in his name. Said he had to be called Vitos Fleur Z. I was mortified. Then I bought the new one, and he was bloody well called Kates Touch! Again, surely it shd be the touch of Kate, meaning it's Kate's Touch?

So there I was, with two horses, neither of whom had their apostrophe. I wrote a post about it on here and then, at the third event I did on Kates Touch, the writer (a poster on here) reognised m and gave me my apostrophe. It happened again at Barbury, so I wanted to identify the writer and thank them!
 
Wow, HTT, that is some score :) Who were the judges??

Still very envious of you with a horse that is skipping round 2* and you deserve lots of credit for that, it's not easy!!
 
Ah.. it all become clear ...and having cross referenced with Be I now understand the score! Charlotte would indeed have been proud to get such a score!?!?!
 
I was going to write for the 2* at Brightling and was going to give Parrot his rightful apostrophe, but they cancelled it :(

Well done on completing another 2* with an XC clear!
