Got 5th equal in the Chase me Charlie, at a good height, which I was pleased with as first time I had tried this event, and hadn't done much high jumping over winter.
Fast double clear, just missing being placed and a rosette at 2'6", but it was an open competition with some far more experienced [affiliated]riders and horses - so not bad as it was also first competition for months.
Got 5th equal in the Chase me Charlie, at a good height, which I was pleased with as first time I had tried this event, and hadn't done much high jumping over winter. Had a lovely stretching and massaging session today. I was so chilled and relax the lady doing it asked if I had been sedated!
After lots of scary noises for weeks, I finally got to see and try the new school. I was a bit surprised how far up it was and even more surprised when I saw the jump down coming out.
There seems to be lots of new horses and people this weekend including in my field!
Clipped today. Obviously I wasn't meant to have a thick coat in the winter. Thanks! I didn't mind though and I do look better for it.
They tried pulling my mane as well, but managed to break their comb. They managed to smarten me up a bit first though. I was entered into a couple of Dressage events today. I don't think I'm a dressage horse. I was more interested in jumping the plastic strips marking the edges.
Wow, what a big show. Haven't done anything like this before. Hated that the Donkeys were being shown in the next arena. Nevertheless, I still managed a 2nd in the 2'3" class.
Last night I got mauled. Vet came out today to check me over. All well thankfully.
