We qualified :D

For the Horseware Ireland National Hunter Trial championship

Only the 70cm class, but still, it's our first qualification for something! This was our 2nd hunter trial.

So we're off to the finals at Elland Lodge in a fortnight. With my best mate and her cob who I go out and about with to competitions and training everytime anyway She qualified at the first hunter trial earlier this year, so I'm so glad we managed to pull it off and qualify so we could go with her for a stay away together!

Very very very happy and pleased! He tried his heart out bless him, he definately had his 'game face' on.

It has been a brilliant summer. We've done a handfull of shows and come away very pleased the last few times! Lovely note to end the summer on.

Then it's time for hunting with any luck

He is absolutely gorgeous. Well done both of you!

Thankyou. We came 2nd in the pairs and 3rd in our individual class - there was a joint first in that so there was no 2nd placing? Top 3 qualify so we just managed it

Galloping isn't our forte yet, he doesn't really 'get it' bless him. He's done that much manners work staying behind whilst others go off out hacking, he doesn't really have a 'lets gallop' button yet lol, we just do a fast canter.
Optimum time was 5m30s something. Our time was 6m03 this time. However, our time from first hunter trial was 8minutes something....so a big improvement from then!

Well done! We qualified for Eland Lodge yesterday too (again the 70cm class). But as we are 4 hours away I won't be going.
We only went for an outing and a bit of fun, couldn't believe we came first.
