An early start for us again with Creeslough, Argentinus and fairly new ride Angleus.
8th on was Creeslough so a rush round the XC course to be on in plenty of time for my dressage to find they are running 45minutes late sadly due to there being a confusion with the days the doctor was due on site! whoops.
So back on to the lorry for a little rest for Creelough.
Off the lorry and into the dressage arena and he did a nice test, a little unsettled in the free walk but much more active and working from behind as we had been working on with Emma Fisher in training earlier that week.
Sadly knowing they were running 45 mins late we were prepared for Argentinus's test but a little too on the ball were we, as we then were not told that they had in fact caught up on time and gave me minimal time to warm up and settle Argentinus for his test - a real shame as this usually is a strong phases for him, rather rushed and tense spoilt his test today in his first novice which was a real shame.
On to the jumping phases Creeslough did a brilliant clear followed by another in the XC, adding to his point collection!!!
Argentinus also did a foot perfect clear round and just to prove a point keeping up with Creeslough he too went clear and earned himself his first point which was very exciting!
Creeslough finished 3rd in a very close section after flying round in side the time XC and making nothing of the course.
Sadly the dressage score let Argentinus down but what more could we ask of the 5year old in his first novice!
