Today was our first for the season, we did quite well in our dressage although need to improve our suppleness and Amy's resisting. (which i new already lol)
Our showjumping was typical for us, a speedy round with miss no it all taking charge often, haha. But we made it round with a good time and only one rail.
We had a big break before xcountry and Amy had pretty much decided she was done for the day when i geared her back up. We had 2 refusals at the first (the little tart!), one refusal at the second, 4 at the water! (naughty pony) We were now eliminated but carried on and had one more refusal at a gate and the rest of the course she jumped like a old pro.
Lesson learnt from today: Always carry a crop on xcountry and ride the first few fences like my life depends on it cause she obviously takes a little while to settle in.
Next weekend we have off then its off to Te Marua for another ODE, fingers crossed that goes better.
