I'm SOooooo happy- our first EVER rosette and it's a red one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Took him SJ today, did the 65cm and the 75cm. Now, we have never been to this place and not got eliminated. Last time we got eliminated at fence 3 for his running out. We also do the winter hunter trials here at which he has had me off (and eliminated) both times.
Nice course and for once didn't look scarily big (think my nervous eyes are adjusting back to normal) He went to run out at a spread in the warm up but I didn't let him so he went for a refusal instead- booted him and over he went albeit awkwardly... think that made all the difference as we blitzed the 2ft3, went double clear and won!!!!! (when he's not refusing he doesn't half give them some height and he's quick too).
In the 2ft6 we had one pole down but did the whole course and it felt great- much more relaxed and I seem to be moving my hips more smoothly with him which is great.
So, I'm on cloud nine... it's been a rocky road but we have finally been placed- so proud of him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No stopping us now. I think both of us are feeling a million times more confident- he was positively pulling me into the fence today and we both loved every second!
Proof-
Still can't believe it..........................!!!!!
