I really enjoyed my combined training. I got a terrible dressage score, which was about disappointing. Toby gets such a tight neck when he’s tense. He doesn’t spook or back off when he’s nervous or scared, but he sets his neck which is really obvious and loses us marks on every movement. He worked in beautifully and was lovely and soft but in the arena, with its giant muck heap next door, open fields to look at and flappy plastic it just all went out the window. Something to work on over the coming months.
I LOVED the jumping. It doesn’t look like it in the photos but I did. He was fabulous. We had 3 down, but they were baby mistakes. Given that a few weeks ago we would destroy an entire course this was progress. 8/11 remained standing!
