well we survived the dressage, and achieved what I wanted to

[Pidge]

well I wanted to do a nice calm walk and trot dressage test and get more than 50% as on previous attempts we have sort of done really badly and have broke into canter on more than one occasion in the tests

Well tonight Pidge was nice and calm until the judge beeped her horn and he was like "ooh jumping

" and got a bit keen

however the test itself was pretty calm, broke into trot just before the free walk and the free walk was hurried, and one 1/2 of one 20m circle we kind of drifted a bit, but




wait for it




we got 54% and no canter at all

We came 11th out of 11 so just missed out on a rosette as they give them to 10th place (who got 60%)

but I am so chuffed with Pidge. I know it may not seem like a huge achievement but to me it is so just wanted to share

 

[YorksG]

Well done S. and Pidge, reaching your own goals is great, never mind what other people think! Shame about the rosette though, you'd have thought they could have given you a 'special' lol

 

[Apalacia01]

Well done! Been reading the run up to it! Good horsey for no cantering...I can barely master a walk...jog much better!!

 

[Pidge]

thanks honey

a special rosette would have been nice, Pidge is very special to me and had extra carrots in his tea as well

 

[Pidge]

ooh dear jogging is very tiring

unfortuantely for me Pidge's favourite pace is canter and we have no need for spurs or stick! So I'm well happy

 

[Blizzard]

Well done Pidge!! Yes Beau is the same, why walk when you can canter lol, well done to you both!!

 

[Pidge]

thanks Gina, these BFG are pretty similar aren't they

 

[Apalacia01]

Spurs/ Stick? Those are highly scary things!! But....jogging is very good for cellulite (or is that for humans..) haha

 

[JessMannion]

wow thats great well done you and Pidge!!

 

[lilym]

well done onwards and upwards!!

 

[Pidge]

very scary and totally unecessary on Piglet!
ah see there is always a good side to everything then

 

[Blizzard]

LOL they certainly are!

 

[Chumsmum]

Yeah right....

Can we make the test up as we go along?

I think I will leave this dressage malarky to the professionals

 

[Gorgeous George]

yeah well done, it's brilliant that you achieved what you set out to achieve, shame you just missed out on a rosette though. Well done Pidge too. Ok so my turn on Sunday......!

 

[Pidge]

chumsmum and HBII look foward to seeing both of you there soon then

Trish good luck for Sunday, what test are you doing?
