Started with the 95cm class as not been out for a while and wanted a nice confident round. He was fab - jumped a great double clear. I made a dodgy turn from oxer at 2, right angled turn to double at 3 so he had to chip in and then I managed to chase him down a 5 stride distance and nearly got 4 in so again he had to chip in. Weird as I normally have to push for related distances but he had jumped in well through the double and had a good canter so just needed to sit there.

Not too long to wait before the Discovery. Didn't go up much but course got a lot more twisty in the second phase. Am always gobsmacked to make it through to the second phase but he jumped the first phase brilliantly meeting every fence spot on. I got a good jump into the 5 stride related distance and had to sit up and really wait to get a good stride out into the double but made it work. Just made one mistake trying to chase him to big oxer at 9 so he had to chip in - he cleared but landed on wrong leg and I didn't get it sorted in time for sharp turn back to big vertical at 10 so chipped in and had it down in front as way too close to clear it. Then carried on to the one stride double and got great strides to the last two big oxers. Really chuffed with how easy he made it all feel.
