Eurgh what a horrid weekend weather wise! I was planning on going outdoors on saturday and jumping the 3ft and 1m class then popping to a local venue for something tiny.
Due to extreme rain and wind on saturday we werent able to get out which was a shame but continued with our plans for sunday. Only went for a tiny class for three reasons 1) Deanna hasn't pure SJ'd in around 2 months now! So wasnt sure if she's go back to silly spooky D! 2) I havent jump at this venue in almost 2years as Deanna used to get incredibly tense in the arena and stop a lot so as she didnt seem to like it I didnt bother going! and 3) As I wasn't sure if she would still be spooky and tense I didnt see the point in jumping a big class on her and having her stop!
Anyway so entered the 2.6ft and super pony went straight in, no worries, not tense and jumped a lovely clear! I was in disbelief to be honest! I was getting a little nervous outside as the warm up is quiet small and I wasnt able to get a good practice fence + I was convinced D was gonna spook in there! Then had to learn a jump off route so took the turns but didnt go nutts but THRILLED to find I'd won haha!! :D :D
Wanted to skip the 85cm and jump the 95cm but unfortunately despite 25 entries in my class there were only 3 entered in the 85cm and none in the 95cm so they didnt run it!
Anyway, chuffed to bits as it means I am now far more confident to go straight to this venue and jump a big class which is fab as its only 20mins away!
