With Berkshire College (BCA) cancelled the next event we went to was Rackham. I was fortunate that both Ollie and Tango were on on the Saturday as by Sunday the event was abandoned.
Tango was in the BE90 class he was lovely and relaxed in the dressage and scored 27 which I was really pleased with. He had 2 down in the SJ (8 faults) but the course was tight and twisty. He's in his new bit now and I felt like I had more control though. He went clear SJ and ended up on 35 penalties which took him just out of the placings in 11th place. After Rackham he seems to have had a bit of a cold so was obviously slightly under the weather although I didn't know this at the time so he was a very good boy for getting us round without complaining. He's had some time off since and seems to be much better.
Ollie was an absolute star! He was doing his first BE100+ so does a Novice dressage test and SJ and the BE100 XC. He had the best dressage in his section by a number of points on 25.5 went clear SJ and XC and no time penalties so won his section on 25.5! I'm really excited about Ollie and he will be doing his first Novice at Brightling in a few weeks. It will just be how things go in the XC as dressage and SJ are fine but he has less experience XC although feels like he's ready to progress and Brightling is a good first Novice course for him.
