AREA TRIALS AT BURGHLEY
19th July 2008
Poor Soli was out again competing 3rd week on the trot!
The dressage didnt go as well, Angus had asked me to give her a bit more food just in case the busy schedule would take its toll.
Well Soli was full of beans, a little tense and because of this Angus had to really ride every minute, he went wrong in his test but hey she still came away with a very good score.
The Showjumping was a fantastic round, it was on a surface with plastic fences, which were being blown off in the wind and causing mayhem. Soli didn't touch a pole and jumped in a lovely rhythm.
She Cleared the first fence by a spare foot!
The next fence shown here she cleared by a foot and half!
the last fence was the same, just a breeze to her!
Then there was the XC to do, an hour and half wait, the course was tough, ditches , drops, skinnys not to for get the cominations that were added, it was more like a BE Novice course.
She went clear right up untill the second to last fence, the water with a roll top in and a bounce and skinny out, the roll top and water wasnt a problem, but the skinny just confused her, I think it was the colour of the fence aswell as the narrowness of it not forgetting the one stride out the water, it proved a little too much for her so she picked up 40 penaltys with 2 refusals. If she had gone clear she would have come in 3rd, but we where all very pleased with her.
