well had a bit of a mixed day at poplar park today!
we did the 3ft3 open individual interschool ODE
went as a warm up for my first BE next week.
dressage was fantastic despite incredibly high winds that nearly blew me out of the saddle!! i got 16.4 :O still in shock!!
sj-some may have heard about my sj problems but had a great round..it was a lovely well thought out course and only had 1 down and had lots of control and she ot perfect striding!
xc- very disapointed it was round the PN course, whcih in fact i didnt think was overly big com,pared to others i had seen but halfway round we got eliminted...she has never stopped with me xc, so very disapointed was not a nasty or a big fence, she was purely too tired..it was a very long drawn out day with lots of hangin round to go xc and i think that and the hills and very deep sand that was in the run up and after every fence just sapped her strength! so very dissapointed and shocked as xc is her real strong point...shall put it down to a bad day.....i know her well enough to realise she wouldnt stop if she didnt have good reason as she is such an honest mare...she had just had enough and was in such a sweat!
anyway im oploading some video footage of my dressage armup so shall post ASAP
