My next event was Chilham Park where I took Ollie in the Novice, Juno in the 4YO and Tango in the BE90.
Tanog had a good day and came 3rd with 29.5 dressage, 1 down and clear XC.
Juno had a 35 dressage, 1 down SJ which is pretty good for her and then off to the XC which is her weakest phase - started off flying around and she was taking me to all the fences then came to a ditch palisade which I knew she would look at (and she did!) she's not keen on ditches. She had a stop there then came round the second time and went to go but then decided in the end she wouldn't and I fell off - inflated air jacket!
Ollie was the next day on the Sunday. It was his first Novice run as Brightling was cancelled. He had a 34 dressage, fab clear round SJ and started the XC brilliantly jumped everything foot perfect until the water.....

As you can see he stumbled on landing and we both went down so near the end! I was really disappointed as he was going so well. It was a pretty bad fall but we were both very lucky and just a bit stiff!
