Farley Hall - 20 June 2015


Farley Hall

A new event for me so wasn't sure what to expect. It was a very long drive up there. It was a lovely venue, the XC course was lovely bold BE100 course with a few questions to ask. This was our first BE100 together with Mouse and Ollie was doing the BE100plus. Mouse started us off with a 28 dressage - we haven't gone over the 30 mark with her yet, showing she is very consistent. Her SJ is her weakest point I changed her bit during the week, which I don't normally like to do just before an event but she jumped so much better at home, and it proved it worked with the best round she has done going clear. Cross country she was clear inside the time, we took one long route at the trakehner as she was a little sticky at the open ditch palisade, so played safe. We did get inside the time, which I didn't think we would have done. Mouse will be heading to Brightling next.

Ollie had a 29 dressage he just lets me down on the walk, we had to do extended walk across the diagonal. Doing medium walk is hard enough, extended, no chance! He made up for it by doing a foot perfect clear SJ round and feeling great XC, we also took the long route at the trakehner so tried to make up my time in between but didn't need to having 4 penalties for going too fast (ollie never goes too fast) it was a very easy time to get. They were both in the placings Ollie 5th and Mouse  7th. Worth the long drive there!
