went to weston lawns today

[BroadfordQueen]

had a great day

got there at 1 and didnt jump till gone 4

went in the british novice, and there where 57 in the class I think, and i was one of the last to go and i saw most people jump and i thought "no chance of winning, will just go for a double clear", but of course i got in the ring and my competitive streak took over and I went for it- and only went and did it

so thats my 3rd british novice win

went in the discovery, with the aim being to actually get into the jump off (never got into it before, usually have one down in the first half) and she was brilliant, flew round just had one down in the jump off (the front pole off a rustic spread so she couldnt really see the pole cos it faded in with the surface). so i am really happy

but i have now jumped out of british novice (£112 notional!) which is a bummer cos i only have 3 double clears BN, but ah well

And mum let me buy a new pink showjumping shirt with my money, and this photo from the british novice (not the best pic in the world cos photographer is abit crap

):

 

[Sarah_Jane]

Well done.

 

[Molineux]

Excellent result well done you

Oooo can not wait to see the Pink shirt!!

 

[BroadfordQueen]

thanks, am really chuffed with my little girly, she was fab, she is so honest, helps me out when i start riding like a numpty

 

[Molineux]

Thats what Great little Grey horses are for!!!

 

[jess_asterix]

well done chick!!

did the boots help then?

 

[BroadfordQueen]

i think they did, well she didnt touch a single pole with her back feet (you can see them in the pic lol

), and i felt her flick out behind over a few of the bigger fences- gave me a much better ride than usual

 

[jess_asterix]

i thought her back end looked good in the pic!

That's brill keep it up!!

 

[dieseldog]

Well Done. See she finds it so easy she does it with her eyes shut.

 

[Hattikins]

Fantastic!!!!! well done you

glad you had a good day

 

[Peanot]

Well done to you both.

I too have just jumped myself out of BN, and so just doing the Discovery. Not jumped JO of Discovery yet so not brave enough to do the 105cm.

 

[carthorse]

Well done .I love your horse, shame about the 3 double clears.

 

[Weezy]

Well done PCE

Shame you didn't manage to get your last clear, you will just have to do the Disco 2nd rounds instead

 

[BroadfordQueen]

thank you everyone

She actually gave me a feeling today that she actually might just be capable of doing some of the bigger stuff- the feeling she gives over the big spreads is incredible, actually feels like she is flying! so am very excited about her, although i was she was a little bit younger lol

 

[BroadfordQueen]

ha ha, i don't think so!! i wouldn't have done the BN second rounds even if i had qualified- i watched this years second round and it was blummin' huge! just a good thing to put to her name really, when/if i come to sell her

 

[carthorse]

She'll go on for years yet.lol

 

[MillionDollar]

Well Done. I think Tara wants to be a SJer not an eventer

 

[jesterfaerie]

Fantastic, well done!
Are you still considering selling her?

 

[FRESHMAN]

Well done PCE. There is certainly quite a bit of space between pole & back legs in the picture.

 

[Vicki_Krystal]

oh my god, i was standing next to you in the holding area!!
i was on the bay that wouldnt take his polos over the fence, lol
well done, you must of gone blooming quick!!
i got nice steady clear round number 2 so was pleased too!

 

[BroadfordQueen]

ha ha, what a coincidence! Your lad was lovely, was speaking to your mum (i assume?) when you where going round the 90cm and she said he was only a baby and you haven't had him long; he looked really lovely

 

[Vicki_Krystal]

lol, yeah that was good old mum! she speaks to anyone!
he is 6 but only started jumping in may unaffiliated and then his owner immigrated 8 weeks ago so i got him!
had to jump the 90cm to calm him down as he likes bronking round his first class sometimes, naughty pony!

 

[Santa_Claus]

are you sure you have jumped out? There is a lovely newish (about year and bit) rule that means you only get notional if you jump DC so some of those winnings might not count if in discovery!??!

Just trying to give you some hope to get last DC
