Tuesday the 10th Aug - West Wilts with the Novice horses
Nice early start once again for mum and I, along with Creeslough and Uberto.
After 4 very intense dressage lessons yesterday with Justine Sole i was out and about again.
First on was Uberto, he worked in really nicely and was putting in to practise all we'd done yesterday. the test was going well but there was one mistake which he got a little uptight about but then relaxed and continued nicely.
He then jumped a lovely clear in the troublesome show jumping course renowned at West Wilts, followed by a steady XC going all the direct routes.
After a disappointing dressage mark i chose to take him round slowly.
Creeslough did a great dressage and scored 33, followed by yet another clear in the Show Jumping but sadly his 'House' phobia caught him out once again - just at fence three a simple house, he put in a naughty run out - something that has occurred twice now so off for some XC schooling next week. So rather disappointing there but he continue around the course taking all the direct routes and making nothing of them!
HARTPURY BOUND WITH ARGENTINUS! 11th Aug.
Thankfully a more leisurely start today we headed off to Hartpury BYEH, Mum, myself and Jordan Daniells my working pupil.
Argentinus did a lovely dressage in the spooky main arena the did a foot perfect round in the show jumping being the only horse to score full marks - 40 out of 40 in the jumping phase. Something that is not often seen in these classes. HE was in the top 10 and lying in 2nd place so we went through to the 'Gallop' phase.
Much better behaved today thankfully and alot less hanging around for him. He galloped well and was drawn into 4th place which secured our place for the final at Burghly horse trials on the 3rd September.For the second time running we are going back!
HARTPURY to be continued...................
