27th September - Hunter Trial

I love HT's that give you start times! The whole day was lovely and relaxed, never more than 6 in a very large warm up arena.

D warmed up sweetly and was popping the warm up fence really sweetly.

Headed off for the start box and D looks over the hill and notices horses appearing, cue completelack of concentration! Had to proper boot her over the first fence :S but perked up on the way from 2 to 3. Almost stopped at 4 as she saw the car and focused on that! Down the drop and over the skinny at 5a and b and no worries over the little telegraphpole. Next the ditch! Made her trot and she went straight over *HUGE SMILE!*. Up the hill to no 8...

Which she flew! Fine over 9a and b the log to ditch, didnt put studs in so had to take it slowly down the hill and over the skinny arrow head.  Round the corner and straight over the pheasant feeder and brush fence. Sweetly over a log with drop on the other side, no worries with the next skinny log. Straight up the step and down the next two, round the corner and straight thru the water to finish clear =D

I had no idea how to judge time and ended up 20secs over but still good enough to get 9th rosette out of 35 :D yayyy
