Friday the weather was still awful but thankfully with my new shed I was able to get Fox ready and plaited in the nice dry shed and then just had to trot the boys to the float and off we went.
Saturday the weather was still shocking but we headed off to Flaxmere cos i thought dressage in the rain can't be to bad. I was first to ride in my Novice start which I thought was mean for my first Novice! But it worked out well cos I got a nice little fine break for my test with no wind or rain and Fox held it together to do what (for us) was a very tidy test. I was please with our score as we didn't embarrass ourselves and weren't last!
SJ the sun came out but the grounds were still wet and the course was pretty decent. We dropped 2 early rails but I was pleased with this.
Sunday and the sun was beaming! What a awesome day. The ground dried out and the galloping was excellent. Fox was a star, he jumped from the start box into gallop and didn't slow down or back off the whole way. He flew round everything, was a bit sticky over the hideous ditch full of black water that I was most worried about, but mainly cos we jumped the jump into it badly. Nothing else phased him, even thou quite a few were on my 'scared of' list. He came charging home with just 12 time faults which was pretty good and we finished 9th overall. I was happy as with this result.
