Well I'd like to thank everyone for suggesting I go to above. I had a really good time.
Quite a job getting there, Jeep kept not wanting to start when it was hot. Emergency MOT needed to be booked to get road tax.
Nearly missed my lesson as car wouldn't start, it's an hours drive away. Managed to fit in a short lesson, but before the lesson Murph trod on my toes with his back foot, think he's broken one of my toes as it's black/blue and still won't bend a week on.
After lots of traffic jams we eventually arrived at Warwick College nearly 5 hours after setting off. Murph was very excited. He settled in well. The set up is lovely there. We got there in the dark and as we turned the corner I was met by a floodlit covered outdoor school, it was massive. Looked so inviting.
Poor boyfriend was left the job of putting the new tent up in the dark. My blow up bed kept going down as it had a puncture so I spent the whole night laying on a hard field. At least it was warm.
Murph was in the stable next to the warm up area so when I went to see him the next morning he was already running around his stable and barging his door. He was soooo excited. My class wasn't until 10.45 so he had a long wait. I rode him for a while about 8.30 to see if he'd settle, but it didn't help much. I was wondering if he'd have enough energy to jump.
He did make me laugh though as he was on the end, everyone was walking around the corner to walk to their stables. They were cutting the corner so walking straight into Murph's head, he was promptly pushing them with his head and they were going flying.
I walked the course and it was well up to height, with the spreads as spreads, you could dance around between the front and back pole. It was the biggest course he'd jumped.
He had 3 fences down but I was so pleased with him, he jumped very well. Attached are some pics. It starts on number 1556 and there are 3 more pics after that one so just push the arrow to the right.
Hope you like, any comments welcome. I'll add some more pics of the stables etc later on tonight. Thanks for reading.
