South of England Horse Trials 9th April 2011

South of England Horse Trials, a set on Flickr.

A good day! We won the Junior Open Novice. Dressage was 28.6, our best eventing dressage score to date as a combination, the judge said she could have been softer and I would have to agree with that. Show jumping not so pretty, she was a naughty girl, somehow we got round and I stayed on and she went clear. Cross country was amazing it certainly asked some questions and I am so glad I had that extra training with Ken on tricky combinations, the course although testing rode really well.
I think the reason why this was such a successful event is  because I have started to believe in myself and Estella as a combination. I really really enjoyed myself, the Cross Country was so thrilling and I had such a good ride as soon as we set out of the start box I knew it was going to be a good round!!!
