I took Amy and Taani out to do the one day event on sunday, taani was entered HC in Intro (her first ODE/jumping show in over 6yrs) and Amy and i were doing our second Pre Training.
Amy did a pretty bad dressage, a bit tense and rushed with head in the air lol, so we were last after the dressage. Taani did a ok dressage, was a bit tense and gawky but i was proud of them both all the same.
We got clear in SJ for both of them, Amy was very speedy and well behaved, it helped that i was determined not to get any refusals at fillers from either of them and rode at the jumps like my life depended on it. Taani did a very quick SJ round and didn't really mind the jumps and only had two jumps from a stand still. Her first clear round about 9 years of living with me. (can you tell i'm proud of her lol)
There was a few "upsets" with the xcountry and the heat was starting to make me feel really sick when i went out with Amy, so i decided to scratch taani and quit while i was ahead. Me and Amy had a awesome xcountry she didn't even pause at any of the ditchy jumps, and i was a good mum and actually 'rode' her at all the jumps so she didn't even have time to think about backing out.
So Amy and i got 4th overall. Despite the day, it was a goody for my lil team of wannabee eventors :P
