It was through my local riding club. It was fun! Roxy was really good being boxed there and back, looked lovely in her new cooler rug but she didn't sweat up at all. I arrived to find there'd been a mix up and I'd been put with the experienced people who were being talent scouted for HOYS instead of the novice group! My pony looked slightly out of place amongst the Andalusians and working hunters! I think we held our own just about OK, Roxy had a little bucking freak out just after I mounted her - it was quite a whistly, spooky Olympic size indoor arena and totally new to her - but she quickly settled down and was fine after that. Anyway, got a few pointers and might try a showing class now, perhaps an inhand one. I also know that we need plenty of time to arrive and look round and chill before our dressage test next week so that she's not spooky during the test!What a lovely thing to be able to do! I would LOVE to do something like that! How do you find out about it?

Well that would totally freak me out to start with! I don't understand the term "showing clinic" as I didn't realise this meant riding, but you obviously did, what do you have to do?
