Pretty chuffed with that for a season. Annoying the first event didn't go to plan with me putting my back out in the SJ but we then went on to complete a further eight BE100's plus Badminton. Six double clears. Four sub 30 dressage tests. Top score of 25. No XC jumping faults. Placed in the top ten in all events other than Badminton and top five in the last 6 events. Only two poles down in the whole season (excluding the huge jumps and crazy weather we had to deal with at Badminton) 70 FP's. One win. He has felt so secure at this level this year. Our jumping has improved loads. Dressage has been more hit and miss as it's quite hard riding BE100 tests after doing Advanced Medium as totally different way of going expected. Some fab results though and consistently in the top quarter after dressage. He really has been a total superstar!
Big thanks to our supportive sponsors West Kent Saddles for making sure his saddles fit and Calm Leisure for providing some super clothing for me.
