Borde Hill
Last time I
was at Borde Hill I had a trip to the hospital in an Ambulance! Very
wired to be back competing a year on from my accident.
Early start
with three horses, Kirsty and I set off at 6.30 am having mucked out all the
others on the yard first. We always stop for diesel every event we go to
and to refill ourselves, I think we are becoming regulars at the local garages!
Always stop for a latte and breakfast food - keeps me going all day!
Walked the
BE90 course, it was looking quite tough for a 90 track. A few people were
asking me how I would ride the corner combination which was a skinny
flower box, 4 strides to a very skinny corner - you could either go around the
tree or inside which I took, it looked a lot more straight forward and
saved time.
Mouse aka Cavaliers
Molly Moot was first to start the girl power. We had a great dressage of 25,
two down SJ which is her weakest phase but we are going to take her out
more and do some BSJA. She did a super clear XC coming 5th.
Bea didn't
have a bad dressage of 30.5 even with a big stumble. Followed up with a
super double clear coming 2nd! The optimum time was really hard to get. We
got 1.6 time faults and I was kicking on. Never had to chase a time that
fast at a 90 before only three got around in the time!
Ollie was
set to do the BE100 at the end of the day. We had a 30 dressage and followed by
another super double clear wouldn't expect anything less from Ollie! I was a
little worried about the water jump. We had a log then down into the water turn
left handed to a drop down into water. But what was I worrying about he jumped
in perfect, I should have been more worried about hitting that duck again!!
Great
weekend with such amazing horses I get to ride. Thank you to all my owners for
letting me ride them. Couldn't do all this without my little team especially
Kirsty who comes out with me every weekend and getting up at stupid o’clock.
