Decided to go as we woke up to beautiful sunshine. Got her all ready, loaded her up and set off at 8am, got to the motorway and the weather took a turn for the worse, it started snowing
but it turned to hail
and extreame winds..but we carried on as had no choice as was on the motorway.
Luckily though 10 minutes later it cleared up to beatiful blue skies again! However the wind was quite strong (And cold!) at W.L. Got on Tara who didn't much take to the weather, started being a total prat, so decided to work her in and get her round fairly quickly. Warmed her up and she was jumping OK, but didn't like the wind at all!
Walked her round till the one before me had gone in, and jumped the practice fence's again- and she ground to a halt into the oxer
VERY unlike her, but come into it again (with me being a bit more active!) and she popped it fine, so in i went.
Wasn't great having to go in after just having a stop, and the wind was blowing all the fences over. She didn't jump very well at all tbh. She jumped all the jumps going away from the wind nicely, but was really sticky going into the fences which where going into the wind. However she was jumping all the fences really big and nearly jumped me off a number of times which she has never done before
Unfortunately just had one fence down in the jump off.
Decided to head home after this instead of stopping for the newcomers as she wasn't jumping well and didn't want to wreck her confidence.
Hoping that the hunter trials on sunday isn't cancelled, think she needs a bit of fun round a xcountry course!
