This has been a pretty relaxing month for all the horses as the weather still doesn't want to cooperate with us and I have had to start the exam revision for school. At the start of the month ESB Golden Ambition and I had the second pony club Speed to Safety Trial which we didn't do very well in. we were 3 second off the 120 seconds we were supposed to do the 1000 meters in which wasn't to bad but a few of the other riders were getting much closer to the time. We ended up coming 5th missing out on going to the final but we had heaps of fun!
ESB Golden Ambition and I also had a dressage competition which was extremely wet and slippery! As there was only one 20x60 meter dressage arena for everyone to warm up in we were having a bit of a fight because of of all the little ponies getting much to close. So our first test was a little bit tense but apart from that I was quite happy. Our second test was a bit of a disaster because the area, even though it was sand, was very boggy and most of it was under water. We were fine with the water but in some places she was just sinking and slipping all over the place. we ended up 9th in our first test and the second... well we were somewhere around 18th (whoops).
ESB Irish Rumble is going well and is always making me laugh. Hopefully (if its not too wet and windy) over this weekend we are going to be heading down to the local pony club for a quiet ride away from home.
