Seeing as its coming upto the new year of 2008, I thought i'd sum up my 2007. Been one hell of a year with so many ups and downs I cant even begin to explain... so here goes...
December 06/Jan 07
Leroy came to me
January 07
Inky was on box rest for 2 weeks
End of Jan/beginning of Feb 07
We started back into work to get fit to start the eventing season
April 07-First event of the season, and a changed pony too. Placed 8th with our best dressage score ever. Little did I know how much he would keep on and keep on improving! We got a score of 40.8, and we're the only combination with a pony in the open section.
End of April 07-On a roll, eventing again, this time got placed 6th, better dressage score once again of 38.2-Getting there! Once again, only pony in the open section to complete the course.
May'ish 07-Schooling over jumps at home
May 07-Our first BSJA as seniors, against the horses.
June/July-Start inhand shows at locals with Leroy
July-What an amazing month for me! First, we had the regional ponyclub dressage championships, where I was placed 4th in my section with a 68% dressage score. Unfortunatly, no pictures. Then, the following day we we're at the regional ponyclub eventing championships, where we got an awesome score of 29.3 in the dressage, and in the lead!
End of August 07-After a few bad weeks following the championships for different reasons, came a desision of retiring him or not-Im glad I chose not! First show back in work, where he went onto win with an amazing 12 second time difference to second place!
September 07-Start of Autumn Hunting (Excuse the hair and position!)
October 07-Another event, another happy me! Dressage score of 32.1 putting us into third place, which we held right through the event to hold onto third overall.
November-My first indoor of the season, and not a bad one either. Had an unlucky pole in the jumpoff which was rider error.
Riding club presentation night and he didn't let me down! Came home with top honors!
And my own write up in the paper too.
December 07-Hunting has well and truely started.
Another for december 07-Xmas show and what a laugh that was! Ride and run, and I never knew I could run so fast! Walked away with first prize.
Fab year for me, as you can see. Roll on 08!!
