26th July - Dressage


After all our disappointments in the SJ arena recently I decided to have a change and go do some dressage.

p13 and p18. P13 first, she warmed up sweetly but then decided the judges box was well..terrifying, oh dear. So an ok test, some lovely bits (that we got 8's for :D) and some rubbishy bits as we had to go past the judges box hehe. Finished on 61.25% which was very fair and came 4th :D Only 1.5% off first place!

Into p18, should have really picked up a schooling stick as she was getting quite heavy in my hand, leaning on my left hand and therefore when on the left rein she was drifting in a lot. As such theres a fair few 'wrong bend' comments and marks lost for inaccurate movements...and umm the pilot error that sent us the wrong way haha ;) Anyway, something must of been going wrong for the others as we came 3rd :D Even if I hadnt of made the mistake I would have still been 3rd so cant be too worried :)

Two top 6 placings have qualified us for the centres dressage championships so will look forwards to that in september :)
