Well, week got off to a bad start, on Monday Mister decided that he was not well, I knew this straight away as he did not go to bite me when I greeted him in the morning.

.. he was also very quite and did not neigh..TPR all ok, but had quid his food everywhere and had not eaten breakie...cut it short, it was something in his mouth..got vet up, sedated him he had ulcer on inside of his mouth, just a little one and a slightly swollen tongue...poss allergic reaction or eaten a wasp!! he also had his teeth rasped for good measure!!Next day he was right as rain, think he had "man flue" little bugger!!

On Frid nite I was eating an "overcooked" chip... friends fault calling me when I was cooking and could be something to do with the wine I was drinking too!!

anyways my tooth split in half!! Agghhh.. I hate dentist.. emergency treatment Sat morning, petrified, hubby said if you dont go you will not be riding... blah blah... £420 later... had part of a route canal done.. rest this evening...GULP!!

Sunday feeling tired as not eaten much, brain not working... I had got everything ready for show etc... went to Yard, hubby came up later with box.... I had forgotton my shirt/jacket/jods!! EKK!!! Hubby had to drive home and back and made it in 45 minutes (normally round trip would take best part of 1 1/2 hours in traffic) Just glad I was not in the car!!! Mister then decided it would be great fun to start rearing and bunny hoping on his back legs in the box.not good at over 17hh.. now I was really not in the mood to go ..and for once I told my horse off !!! He was very shocked! He would not stand still whilst I bandaged him etc... grhhhhhhhhh!!! So I did smack him.on his butt. hurt my hand more than him!

Any... went to Hastingwood, he was a very good boy, I rode hell for leather..yep beads of sweat now getting the norm!!! We rode Elem. 43 and got 73.44% and then in the second E53 we were both pooped... (my excuse anyway!!) and we got 67% Luckily we managed to win both and now qualified for Summer Regionals!!! Sorry very self-indulgent

OHMYGOD - remind me NEVER to compete against you!!!!!!!!! Those are FANTASTIC scores!! And theres you telling me you cant do all that 'sideways' stuff - you obviously did something right!! i bet you will be in H&H now too
smile.gif
 
HA, thankyou both!!! I think the Judge must not have had her glasses on when she marked me!!! tehe... H&H never seem to do a write up for Hastingwood...boohoo!! ah well!!... wish me luck at the dentist.. already nearly downed a whole bottle of rescue remedy!!
 
Excellent results, well done!! He's a lovely boy, i remember seeing you both a few years ago at Towerlands for the Equestrian Monthly champs, he stood out from the crowd even then... needless to say you whooped me!! haha!!
I'm at Norton Heath on Saturday and after that I might attempt Patchetts on 9th, my boy hasn't been there before and I'd like to attempt the area festival at end of Sep - not sure why i'm bothering but hey ho! I'm sure i'll see you out and about soon!
 
I'm at NH on Sat too, doing N33 and E43 so come and say hello. I will also be at Patchetts Area Festival (not expecting anything just going along for the social side really- with Freestyler and all the others from here going I don't stand a chance

Oh blimey, Towerlands!!! that was when I first bought him in about Jan/Feb of 2006!!! ha! Was great day and loads of prizes I remember!!I am very good at making mistakes!! Plus I can get very nervous, I am sure you guys will do just fine!!! at AF, we can all have a beer and console each other after.. or to be positive celebrate!!!
 
Yeah he's changed a lot since then! You've done a really good job with him. I might try and get to the Nationals to see your class... what day are you on?
 
Ahh thankyou!!! We have been working hard!! He is "coming of age" now and "he has aged me"!" LOL!!! My class is early anywhere between 8am and 10.30am.. so no one will see!!! tehe.. On Saturday.. going to get there Frid afternoon to try and settle him and then do the horse walk in the morn!
 
I am going to Patchetts this Sund. Never been to do dressage at Norton Heath..always use to go on Wed eve to do jumping and remember freezing my butt off late at night!!! Good Luck at Norton Heath everyone... will be wanting a full report as usual!
 
Wow very good. I had planned to pop up to Hastingwood to watch some elementaries to get some tips but it was so wet I went home and climbed under my duvet instead! Wish I had known you were there I would have made the effort, although with those marks I most definately don't want to compete against you at the areas!!
 
Oh i know all about the 'he has aged me' bit!! I've seen my life flash before my eyes a few times since having Osc!!! Oooh i might just be able to make the Saturday classes...!!
grin.gif
 
I think it was a fluke! Honest... although he was good boy! I think I lost at least a stone in sweat too!!!

My friend said to me last nite, well you have spent 10 years trying to compete and had no luck... I think the little angels up there decided it was time for me to have some fun instead of looking after sick horses!
 
I try to put my anti-crinkle cream on at night and I think that is about it... gone are the days of painting nails and straightening hair etc.... LOL!!!
 
sounds like you did brilliant even though all of the disasters (think it was a weekend of them ) !!

Im off to towerlands on 9th for dressage only ever showjumped there though !!!
 
Freestyler....you are turning in to a proper dressage star!! Well done.

Patchetts is going to be great....Although as usual i will forget the test, Finn will bite everyone and then we'll all get drunk. Perfect lol!!!
 
Well, I am holding my breath as to how long it lasts!!!

Actually just come back from dentist.... sound advice... sup wine after.... makes you feel better!!
