Hi, well i don't no if you all remember but i had been asked to compete for my riding club in the Riding club inter Dressage champs at badminton. I also did an individual Novice test as well.
I had a few reservations but went ahead with it. Basically my horse has just turned 6 years old. The Riding club Championships and the individual tests at Badminton are run on Grass. My horse had never been ridden at a comp on grass. The 2nd thing was an overnight stay at a local yard.
Anyway he was tense in the stable the next morning but OK. Loaded and of we went.
He was brilliant in the 20+ acre warm up Field no problems at all. We then went in for the Individual Novice test and got 70.5% we won and got a bag of Badminton horse feed.
We then did the team test and the team came 4th out of 9 teams so another Rosette!!
I'm very proud of my boy to say the least. He was so big and brave and put his all into it. I couldn't of asked for more, i didn't expect a win. ;D ;D
Where now looking forward to the BD regional championships.
Pics to follow when Ive downloaded of camera.
Here are some of the Photos. I do have loads but i have an issue with my Broadband speed atm so it taking forever to upload them to photo bucket. Hope you like!!
Warm Up waiting to go in!!
