At long last we have actually done it.................................................


our first Intermediaire 1, that is!


First of all trainer said wait a bit, then when he said OK they cancelled the comp but we finally made it on Saturday.

I am now officially a Group 2 rider!

Bless my little pony. He tries SO very hard to understand my fumbling aids and I couldn't believe it when I crept back to the scoreboard to see what the judge thought and found that we'd even...................................................


won the bloomin' thing!

I have to admit that there were only two of us in the class but we earnt a respectable score of just under 63%, (I was aiming for 57/8%) and were 6% ahead of the other rider.

Sorry for the totally self indulgent post but it's not that long ago that I'd never ridden an affiliated test and our outfit is very much run on a shoestring, no lorry, no sponsors/wealthy owners or rich OH, just grim determination and at times it seems, more than my fair share of luck!

PG He's 16 this year but due to his problems he's fairly low mileage.
He spent approx 3 years at the ILPH and then had nearly another year off at the time of my back op.

Weezy.......9years. I did my first affiliated Prelim Feb '98.
 
Well done to both of you! Not at all self indulgent we all appreiate the highs and lows of horses and how much hard work it takes to get there.
I hope your very proud of yourself

How is Rupert doing? Will he be out competing again at some point?

As far as our comps go, I will probably do Manor Farm on the 13th June but they've no Inters.
I think Sheepgate has some in June so will possibly do those too.

No photos this time as no photographer present.
 
Well done you! Everyone on here know that along with grim determination and, as you put it, your fair share of good luck went huge amounts of hard work, so allow yourself to be smug for a while.
 
OH WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!
