I had Ceylor LAN in the CIC***, Persimmon in the Open Intermediate and Vendredi Biats and Billy Bounce in the Open Novice.
Ceylor LAN did a much improved test in the three star compared to last year, he felt much stronger and more up hill and did some great work, we made some annoying mistakes in his rein back and last halt which were costly. He scored a 46.6 which I was a little disappointed with as I thought he’d shown some lovely work.
Watch our test here:
He skipped round the cross country, finding it all very effortless and easy and his concentration was much better than Gatcombe! We picked up a couple of time faults which left us in 3rd place.
Watch our round here:
Billy Bounce was a little more excited in his test than at Gatcombe, we made some silly little mistakes through lack of concentration, but over all his work was very good. He scored a 33.5.
He then jumped a super clear in the show jumping, it was so nice to finally get I’m out on the grass and jumping in a competition at last!
He jumped a lovely but steady clear round the cross country and felt very pleased and happy to be finally going cross country again.
