SOE is one of my favourite events. I took Ollie & Holly
again but this time Holly was entered for open novice.
Holly had a year off last year trying to put her into foal that
did happen but instead I fell pregnant!! So she has had longer off then expected.
I started the season off in July and started her off Open BE100,
last event of the season I decided to do novice, and hopefully the start of
next season going Novice.
Early start 8:00 am dressage on Ollie, we did an average test of
32 and double clear, I thought there were a lot of questions to ask XC for a
BE100 but no problem for Ollie (the show jumper!) he came 1st finishing
on just his dressage score.
I was pleased with Holly's test of 30.5, we had 4 faults show
jumping and a lovely clear XC (finishing 17th), I’ve not competed at
novice level in a year, I was so happy to get around and clear. It's so nice
being back on my lovely mare hopefully be back doing Intermediate and International
classes next year.
Now on the agenda will be BSJA with Holly, Ollie and JJ (Cullawn
Royale), Dressage and Combined Training. I’m hoping to do 1.30m classes with
Ollie, he’s already qualified for 1.15m second rounds.
The horses will only have a week off this year when I'm away in
Dubai as they have only done half a season.
Wearing my lovely Charles Owen AYR8 hat from Dragonfly Saddlery (www.dragonflysaddlery.co.uk). I wear it now for both dressage and showjumping as it's so smart!
