Boo did good!!! What started out as a near disasterous day actually went really well!
Loading the boys Saturday morning to go out to do some posh circles Boo decided that Moses going up the horsebox ramp is the scariest thing EVER - did a massive spook, landed on top of me, knocked me flying and then dragged me across the floor. No way was I letting go of the rope so I have ended up with massive rope burns on my right hand and a really deep hole in my left knee (thank god it was my left and not my right or I may well have dislocated my knee again) and hole in my jeans. Thanks Boo! *Mental note to self - remember to wear gloves for loading idiot orange horses*
All sillyness over with and a very sorry looking Boo loaded and travelled as if nothing had happened.
Got to the other end and managed to patch my knee up a bit. Did 2 really good tests! Was very pleased with boo- especially as I couldn't use either my right hand or my left leg! boo really likes this particular venue and we always do well there. Came 4th in first class with 64.21% and 10th in second with 64% - the %'s were really close at the top in the second class and there were lots of very posh neddies in there warming up for the novice and elementary after it. We are proud to say that we did beat quite a lot of these posh horses including one which got a round of applause when they finished!
Good old dressage blob!!
Anyway - a couple of pics!!
