Typical, it was going so well And then...

We had a wee 'competition' today for liveries. The 'classes' were 60cms to 1m so I though we'd do them all as our nemeses the water tray was out.

As I'd though he would, jerry refused the water tray but popped it the second time - a big change as he'd managed to dump me at it the last time we attemped it so big pats for jerry

He popped the 70 nicely and we won the class with a time of 24.06. My rosette has a picture of a witch on it

So.. On to the 80cms. He went nicely in the first round.
Fence 3 was along the diagonal then you had to go around number one to get to the water tray. I took the inside line both times.

Silly decision as we didnt have enough space to turn and he launched himself over the tray, clipping the cone that was acting as a jump wing/guide.
Needless to say, he landed funny and I went out the side door

I'm sore from halfway up my ribcage down to my knee and I'm really annoyed with myself as he was going really well and I'd wanted to do the Meter class.

Magners if you got to the end - I'm off to drug myself up so driving isn't painful in the morning

Ouch ! 10 out of 10 for effort though misses - at least you got a rosette ( even if it did have a witch on it ) Pour you self a large one - for medicinal purposses obviously and better luck next time , hope you don't feel too sore tomorrow.

10/10 for super jerry
My first 'first' rosette with him, which is surprising as we had a few arguments going into some of the jumps

"Im going that way, mum"
"no! We're supposed to be going over there"
*sliding halt, change direction and fling self over fence*

I guess at this point jerry thought he knew the course better than you - typical man Perhaps he just thought he'd take the short way round - save you all the bother...

Brilliant u might be right - he buggered off to the right towards the next jump
I'll leave the map reading to him next time - he was probably telling me my map-reading was cr&p
