Well today i decided i would try my first elementary Got to inchoonans started warming up and he was being VERY naughty so much so i was considering goin home!! But thought i may as well just give it a bash seen as i was there did novice first going was very deep and he was just being such a numpty got 65% was shocked at, i was expecting less than 60%!!! Then went in to elementary 42 only 3 of us in but the others were people who have done elementary before so wasnt holding out much hope, went in i thought he didnt go great made a few silly mistakes got 7 and a 8 for med trot was really happy wi that. Turns out i was 2nd wi 63.8%!! Back again tom as it was a qualifier for the chamionship tom. I really hope he behaves better tom as its a hard marking judge

thank you!! yeah that was another reason why i chose this competition for my first elementay as it had e 42. The begining of Last year my goal was to be competing in novice by end of year which i was and my goal for this year was to give elementary a bash by the end of the year which i have i think a lot of it is in your mind i was like omg there is no way i can do elementary but if you dont try you never know!! To be honest im not expecting much tomorrow i will just be happy if he behaves

Oh well done and I am so very jealous of you gettings 7s and 8s for medium trot ;D I think we are all so critical and harsh about our abilities and I felt exactly the same when I did my first 'proper' competition at elementary a few weeks back competing against all affiliated folk that had been at that level for considerably longer than us - but it's never as bad as you think / feel it is Well done and good luck !

thanks everyone!! well tody i had a different horse ...... a donkey He was dead to the leg mega calm tho no naughtyness like yest which i was pleased with but just totally lacked energy typical with it being the championships!!!! I did loads of transitions made no difference Went did novice 25 12 in class was 5th 61% which was more than i was expecting had comments that i was expecting lacking energy etc Went into elementary and god he was sooooooooo backward the little monkey! 6 in class some v good folk as well, we were 3rd!!!!! Judge was hard marking only got 57% but way more than i was expecting was over the moon the fact i had got that score when he wasnt going well he can do so much better when he is forward!! And i cant believe i remembered 2 tests!!!! Think my poor boy is shattered now!!

I know the champ elementary wasnt a high a mark as yesterday but im pleased with it considering his way of going it gives me some hope!! I really was sooooo worried i would forget both tests! The winner i think was emma willis and 2nd was fiona bowman so i was pleased to be 3rd to them ;D
