5th April BSJA

Decided I would go out for some more SJ on the sunday, so pleased I did!!

Started in the 90cm amateur qualifier, the course was fair but there were a few spooky fences (particularly fence 3, a black and white double with chess pieces) so I rode quite forwards, unfortunately this resulted in two fences down but I was pleased that Deanna was so open and taking me to the fence.

Into the 1m qualifier and even though I rode pretty badly we got round clear :D wooop! Waited for ages for the jump off and then felt very.. :S!!!! The next class after the 1m was the 1.10m, so they decided to straight out put our jump off up to 1.10m - it was huge!!

Felt a bit intimidated by the people jumping well above 1.10m in the warm up so just popped a small upright then went in. Unfortunately due to only jumping a small upright I dont think D had quite realized the fences had gone up ;) and she just brushed over the first and we had it down. Then jumped lovely round the rest and finished on 4 faults! So pleased as Ive never competed over that height before and she was awesome!! Finished 7th so just out of the ribbons
