Did my first ever dressage tests today ;D On my new horse Cola

We arrived late (

) and only trotted around 3 times before going in for my first test! Did a walk and trot test first (personally I think it was harder than the next one lol), considering I've never done one before and hadn't ever ridden one before last week I don't think it was too bad! Came THIRD!! ;D (of 4, lol)

Then we did Prelim 12, I didn't think it was as good as when we did it in the school on monday

ran into the second canter transition, right in front of the judges

but, amazingly, came FIFTH!!! (of about 12)

Just had to share, 'cos I am rather thrilled and pleased with my horsey

he was fantastic! It was our first show together as well

Sorry no pics! Had no camera man!

bex

If you're robbing a bank and your pants fall down, I think it's okay to laugh and to let the hostages laugh too, because, come on, life is funny
