Baby horse and I are going to do our first proper dressage competition tomorrow :unsure:
He's a 7 year old section D that had done very very little training before I started reschooling him at the start of this year. He's now working nicely at home, more than capable of riding a very very nice prelim test so we're off to Patchetts tomorrow to do Intro A and Prelim 18.
It could all go very very wrong though...it's the first time he's been trailered anywhere since he arrived at the yard as a 3 year old, first time at a proper show and he's a clumsy, spooky drama queen of a stereotypical section D.
Argh....:cry:
Oh, and the one thing his owner won't let me do is pull his mane but he's rubbed it so the bottom half is more or less non-existent, the top half is REALLY long. And his legs are stained yellow and silver. And I can't bring him in for the night and we're forecasted heavy rain. Hmmm.
