As did the rest of the world! I rang Somerford yesterday and they told me the XC was not open, but we could do the farm ride. So went down this afternoon and the XC was open with the world and his wife there including Brook Staples and Jeanette Brakewell! We were allowed to use the xc field which was relief as I desperately wanted try Sov over some ditches and through the water, he has not jumped a xc jump since last June.
Anyway he was a very good boy jumped everything asked of him, only needed a lead a couple of times, but he is much more confident than last year, so he will spook and go now, rather than have a diva fit about things!
Only thing he didn't like was the step into the water, but at intro it is only walk in water anyway,and this will improve with confidence and practice.
Overall a good day.
Off for jumping lesson tomorow am!
