BSJA Manor Farm 15th Feb

AMAZING day today! Started with the clear round, more to warm her up then anything as the warm up arena was packed! Jumped a super clear!!



Then onto the British novice, run as a single phase so everyone jumps the whole course - 2nd half is timed. I like this idea, means if you have a few down you can carry on and get your moneys worth + gain valuable experience.

Deanna jumped super, but unfortunately I let her run a little flat into a spread on the jump off part and we had it down. Would have been 3rd if we'd left that up as we were quite quick! Ended up 7th as the fastest 4 faulter!

Then onto the best bit, our 2nd ever discovery. In our first attempt at a disco we had one down, today we jumped double clear!!!! I walked the course and thought it looked huge! But a nice inviting spread to start, and then a few fences down related distances got us going and Deanna was just amazing! Jump off fences were a good 1.05m and Deanna was flying round so easily! Ended up in 2nd place and pocketed a nice £20! So brought some gorgeous pro piccies!!

So so pleased with her! She just jumped fantastically, Im hoping...if we can work on our canter more we might be able to jump a newcomers but the end of the year!! :D

Oh almost forgot...my pride and joy(s)!!!

Welldone, She really must be making you proud, and you deserve it after all the work you have done with her and how far you have brought her!

Love the second professional picutre :) hehe

Goodluck and I hope you keep getting better.
