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.
