After Nurstead Court was cancelled at the end of April the next event I was entered in was Borde Hill. I took 4 in total over the weekend. Tango in the BE90, Ollie and Corby in the BE100 and Lady in the ON.
Tango had a 36 dressage and was clear SJ. Unfortunately we were eliminated XC. It was fence 5 which was a double of boxes a blue wall underneath. He put in a really naughty stop and I nearly fell off! He really wasn't keen and I couldn't get him over it!
Tango
Corby went really well he had a 33 dressage clear SJ but we picked up 20 penalties XC. I jumped the wrong B element of a hedge jumping the BE90 and not the BE100 B element. I realised whilst we were in the air jumping the wrong fence so had to circle and then jump the correct fence which meant we picked up the 20 penalties plus we also ended up with 11.2 time penalties finishing 24th. I pity as Corby is consistent and this result was due to rider error!!
Corby
Ollie had a 30.5 dressage and a pole down SJ which is unlike him and clear XC with just 6 time penalties finishing in 7th place. The ground was good going.
Ollie
It was Lady's first event of the season in the ON and she was amazing. It was great to be back on her again! She had a great dressage (27) the best score she's had in a Novice and went really nicely.
All in all not a bad weekend just a shame about the rider error with Corby and Tango is still getting the hang of things, more on his progress in the next posts...
