Took Brave off to do a couple of dressage tests on Sunday.
Did Prelim 1 first, I came out thinking he could have been more forward off the leg and that I was nagging him, judge obviously saw something different as we came second in the class with a score of 70.5%. And a comment that it was very quietly ridden....
Did Prelim 12 next and first part of the test went really well, but in the 2nd canter he broke early and I couldn't get him back into canter without me flapping! As 4 horses after me were also in the novice class I didnt think I stood a chance, you should have seen my face when they read out our names as the winners with a score of 68.5%. My jaw dropped. Aside from our broken canter which fortunately only affected 1 movement ( for which we scored a 5) our trot work scored 8's across the board and most other movements were 7's
very pleased with the ginger pony!!!
