I took both of my ponies out to do dressage yesterday, I did the walk and trot test on both as there is no way I can remember two tests.
Mystic came 3rd with 64.3% :) and Monty was second from last with 50% but I am pleased with him as it was his first show, he behaved well and the judges comment said pony has the potential to do well :D. We then did chase me charlie in which monty cleared 2ft(he has only jumped mini cross poles before) and mystic cleared 3'6.

Then I decided to hack them home and drive back up to the show to have a look round the stalls, tents etc. and have a go on the rodeo bull (silly thing to do) I managed to hurt my thumb coming off of the thing, visit to the st johns tent and 2 1/2 hours in A&E to find my thumb is fractured :(
 
I hope it doesn't either, everyone was asking if i had had a riding accident as i was still in my jods but no it was on a rodeo bull :o first and last time I go on one of those!
 
Well done! Haha we gracefully backed out at 2ft9 I think lol...gave it a go but he was knackered bless him!

Aaaah I was going to go on that too but wimped out lol as noone else would go on it. Hope it heals fast!

You did well with the jumping and the dressage :) My young one was tired plus he had never jumped anything but a cross pole before.

Should have had a go on the rodeo, it was funny. I just held on to the rope to long Resulting in a broken thumb.
 
Thanks! Yeah Cas had hardly jumped either bless him lol, only backed him April time, he'd been jumped about 3 times probably though we did end up doing unexpected XC on the way to the show as we got lost and was running late so went for a gallop through some fields to get there quicker and up and over a ditch and bank! LOL. No other baby would I do that on, but he's genuine enough bless him. I was really pleased with him for his first show. I don't know if there were any mares there or not, but if there were he wasn't interested in them at least!
