Wow - that's amazing - you did really well - well done to you and Archie - what an acheivement!
Hope you don't think that I'm being nosey, but just wondering where you got him from. I will be looking for another youngster soon so like to hear where everyone else got their from!
That is fab news P_G, and just goes to prove Dressage is not fixed, a good rider on a good horse can go out and beat the big names. Of course after the National and now this we might have to start referring to you as our own HHO big name!
Bloody well done! Good judging too as it's a small world and I bet the judge couldn't help but know some of the horses in it were Medium. Nice to know these classes are genuinely about potential.

I brought him through HorseQuest. My trainer buys and sell good quality youngsters - www.globaldressage.co.uk - have a look on her site. My other trainer does aswell - Andrew Gould - it depends how much you want to spend.
Archie wasnt cheap, however hes also not been easy - i took me a month to actually get on him when i first brought him, and its only been until about 3months ago that ive been able to complete a dressage test on him, as he used to just rear and bronk everywhere. I still cant even hack him out, and he dosent really jump yet - so hes not an easy horse by anymeans!!
