Ah what an amazing day!! Cleo and saffy had their first dressage tests today and I could not of asked for more from either of them after all the confidence crashes!!
Saffy came off the lorry calmly and warmed up lovely despite small pony in field next to school galloping up and down!
I did Intro A first as HC and she was a super pony despite completely new surroundings. We got a score of 62.9%
Here is a video!

Then is was cleo's turn! Could tell she was nervous so we spent 10mins in the warm up showing cleo that saffy wasnt going to run off with her!! They did a super test only big thing was their 20metre circle at E wasnt really a circle
they scored 62.6% and came 3rd with a lovely big rosette!!

Next they did intro b and this time cleo was loads more confident but saffy was getting a little tired. However they came out with 63% and 5th place with another rosette!!!

Not the whole test though
We went and relaxed for an hour and saffy munched some hay happily by the lorry
Then it was my prelim 4 eek canter time!!!
She was ok on the first rein but fell out of the canter half way and I couldnt get her back so continued on to the next part. The next canter was on her weaker side and well was a bit big and hairy haha its all down to her balance and its just something we have to continue working on but I really could not be prouder! we came last with 59.9% but I achieved what I wanted out of it!
