COBS WAS AWESOME - pretty much all I can say about the weekend :) Not one hint of being naughty, spooky, cheeky nothing. In fact in the dressage we were rather flat LOL! Can't win :)
His dressage test was nice - it was a funny test to ride with lots of movements being very close together. I was first on so had a great warm up with only a few ponies in the warm up ring. Not sure it would have mattered anyway as he just couldn't have cared! Such a nice ride. Our test had a few good moments in it but on a whole was very flat for him so he didn't have his normal spark but I was super happy with him. Was great to relax into the test & not worry about him spooking at something.
Our SJ was great - he warmed up really nicely (again) and did a nice tidy round. The paddock we were jumping on was quite rutted & slippery so we just took it easy so we got time faults. I knew we would & to be honest I don't care - this season is about getting our confidence back so a no jumping fault round is awesome.
We had our XC today - again first out which in a way was good. Had THE BEST xc round. He was so much braver than even last weekend so thrilled with him. We had a life at jump five as I couldn't see as my eyes were streaming from the wind so had to just sit there like a muppet LOL! We also didn't do the jump from the water very well as we lost our forward momentum but on a whole he was just awesome. Again we had time faults as the slopes down were very steep & quite slippery so we just took it easy.
Had an absolutely brilliant weekend - to have my nice sane pony back is great however I am more happy with how we are getting our confidence back jumping :)
