My diary has been rather quiet due to my misbehaving computer! As I came to write an entry after Keysoe, it had locked me out... I tried turning it off, switching it on, control/alt/del, all the things Im sure Im not meant to! Anyway, I have given my computer a few days off, just turned it on, and its happy again! So I'd better get writing....
Last Saturday I had 4 entered at Keysoe, having not been to Keysoe for a few years I decided it must have improved by now, and thought I'd go again. I wont be going for another few more years, thankyou. Perhaps Im being a bit unfair, as all the horses ran well, and we had a good day. Pascal won his novice section. His owner/rider Jitka Hola was there to watch him which was great. Jitka has done a really good job producing this horse, and she has handed over the reins to me temporarily whilst she has had the pins taken out of her leg. I had a really good ride on him, as we are still getting to know one another. Millie jumped a double clear, and had a 40 dressage, which I thought was a bit harsh, as again she did a good test. I have learnt to love or hate Pre Novice dressage marks, I never quite know what Im going to get next! Bee did a lovely test, except dumbo jockey went wrong!..I think the 2am start momentarily got to me! In her Showjumping she was rather fresh, and jumped well until the last double when she couldnt contain her exuberence any longer and jumped through too quickly having both parts down. However I did enjoy that spark out on the XC, she felt great. I subbed Nenagh for Desi, and she ran very well, just unluckily had number 1 down in the Show jumping, and again I was steady XC, but she felt class. Many times I wandered what was going on at Badminton, and I wish and hope to get back and ride there soon!!
Im planning on Showjumping at Weston Lawns on Thursday, and Fitz runs advanced at Chatsworth on Sunday.
