Woodhill Sands Winter Dressage Series Day 2

Well our good luck did not continue.....however I am pretty pleased with Cobs as we have done one proper days schooling (yesterday) since the last dressage day as the weather has been shite & the showgrounds are under water.

You get out what you put in :)

We unfortunately had a horror warm up but as soon as we got in the ring he was great. We had 2.4 first which was a shame as it would have been nice to have had the easier test first but never mind. He tried really hard & coped very well with movements we haven't done in a test situation before or had much time to practice. We got slammed by the judge though which is a shame and I don't think a true reflection of what the test was like....never mind......everyone has those days!

We then did 2.2 and just to keep things going the rain started as we went over to do the test. He was good though & tried really hard. We had leg yielding in this test which I managed to not do properly but he did what I asked him.....just have to ask the right thing next time LOL! Again he was good & I am pleased with him.

You can definitely see we haven't had regular dressage lessons for a while though so will be looking at fixing that soon. Will give him some time off for now and then regroup.

So yeah - not the results I was hoping for but still very happy with him.
