Where did you go, if you don’t mind me asking? Sounds great.
At first glance I think I recognise that school...

Yes, IHW has let me know where they went, thank you.I believe @ihatework said they were in Portugal
Well I ache in places I never knew existed!! Having not done any proper dressage in over 6 years, not ridden consistently for the last 3 years and not sat on a horse for 3 months, why on earth I thought 2 lessons a day was a good idea, god only knows ??
But what a super way to have a holiday. I was started off on an older but still very lovely chap, then had 2 lessons on a small grey fella who knew how to do everything but really tested you and highlighted your imperfections ? But worked my way up to sequence changes and a very collected trot/almost passage, in addition to the sideways stuff.
Then I finished off being allowed on a Ferrari and was beaming. Sequence changes up the centre line. In and out of piaffe. Such a forwards and sensitive horse yet so kind and generous.
Definitely going back next year!
Cheeky grey fella ?

a painful shart
So sorry Michen but this made me laugh out loud, literally ???

Urgh bit bummed. I know Bengrove worked so hard watering the ground but it was reading as still hard with limited grass coverage. Decided given I’d been at a wedding the night before so it would always have been a painful shart, plus around £100 in diesel to potentially withdraw, not to go. Plus his third run in a week so feels a big ask if the ground isn’t spot on.
So have that fear of missing out feeling now ?

Out of interest was it just heresay re the ground or were there official readings like some of the other events had? And if so where did you find them?
Fabulous! Well done xx ?????We did dressage! Had a really fun day out. 68% and first - whoop.
It was hearsay, snd I know they worked super hard watering every night but I think the grass coverage just wasn’t quite there.
I’d have probably gone regardless but given it’s his third run in a week I decided not
I was really hoping there were more ground reports somewhere, like the one from Cirencester park, that I just didn’t know about yet.
I really wish they would do them for all events.
