well - the start of the day was not promisin. Woke up late, v late. Had decided not to plait, well after a couple of glasses of wine ray's mane did not look that bad! but then in the cold light of day (and when sober) realized his mane looked like I had stuck his hoof in plug socket. Not good look. So with half an hour before the off decided to plait.the result- a nice straight ish line of golf balls down rays neck.took the scissors to a few stray hairs (forgive me!).thinkin I may have been better stickin with the "shocked" look we set off. Then my friend horse would not load for first time ever. After a lot of swearin she loaded and we got there with all of 20 mind before my test. Lobbed tack on, jumped on and went to warm up ring. Ray was going nowhere and then called in! Ray took one look at Judges table and flew backwards snortin! I thought here we go, the bell rang and he transformed into little active angel. Ok a couple of bucks- cheeky- but apart from that we did the test! Our score went up 60.9! First time we broke the 60 mark. I am still grinning!

If you can't be a good example -- then you'll just have to be a horrible warning.
Always saddle your own horse
