December 2013

On the 23rd and 24th of November I competed at Friends of Woady Yaloak Horse Trials in the Intro with ESB Irish Whisper. The weather was even worse than it had been at colac but we had been expecting it (being so close to Ballarat) and had all the winter woolies with us.Our dressage test was fairly good but there are definatly clear points that need work especially our canter! but other than a few messy bits the dressage was reasonably good. In the showjumping we did a very nice round but knocked a pole on the last fence which was a bit unlucky. The next day we had x-country which I was quite excited about after walking the course. We managed to go clear and under time with our only problems being a little wobbly into the first jump and the scary pathways through the trees.

 

November 2013

On the 9^th and 10^th of November I competed at Colac 2 day event in the Intro with ESB Irish Whisper. The weather was awful most of the weekend with rain and wind. On Saturday we had Dressage and Show jumping. Our dressage was pretty average but for our first one together it was good and in the show jumping we went clear. On Sunday we had x-country with the weather a little bit better than it had been on Saturday. We had one stop at the water and a few time penalties but other than that had an amazing weekend.
