so the odds were against us! LOL! my instructor thought i had picked a hard test for our first one (i agree, it wasnt meant to be our first one, but ah well!). It wasnt a very forgiving test in the canter department tbh - start at a specific letter (rather than between letters), do a 20m circle and full loop then ending up cantering across the diagonal....
cons - i went wrong!!! oops! last canter literally towards the end, i turned across the diagonal from the wrong corner! oops! I was terribly nervous and just went blank (even with a caller!)
pros - Moet was a gem, no bucking, no real issues getting into canter last night either (granted we were not balanced and she was a bit speedy)
soooo needless to say we came 4th (out of 4! LOL) - but we got a lovely rossette scored 55%, which tbh i am over the moon about as i wanted over 50%, and with the fact of going wrong etc, i am pretty happy
ooo on another note though i came first in the walk and trot class they were both really small classes - 3 in W&T, 4 in Prelim. It was the first dressage held at the specific venue, so hopefully it will get busier in future
photos will be posted later!
