Good luck and let us know how you get on - I think Tod will be super  As you are used to showing careering around with a sometimes mad group of horses I'm sure you'll find dressage a doddle  Just try and relax - I quite often mumble to myself during my tests to remind myself to relax, breath, smile, enjoy lol ;D |

Its at Tower,and as Tod is a wee hooligan in a snaffle we may complete our dressage tests in the fastest time ever. Im doing P7 which is very boring and has plenty oppertunities for Tod to pee off with me. Then we have P18 which I like, should keep the wee man on his toes.

Tod and I have now done our 1st dressage night, and we may have another bah at it going on tonights results.
Warmed him up at the yard as I knew that the outdoor school at Tower would be waterlogged. Took down a fairly chilled pony even though he was holding the bit in his teeth. Lots of cancellations so we were 2nd in so no time to get worked up.
Was tense in the 1st test P7. but on the whole I was pleased with him. Managed to wrong but managed to get back into the swing. Got 54.5% which I was happy with as I know the Judge marks hard.
2nd test was P18 we were more relaxed no mistakes and although we had an awful 2nd canter where he insisted in bending the wrong way so he could give the Judge a full view of is face. So I was chuffed to bits when we achieved 65.4%.
We got 4th in the 1st test and 3rd in the second. Tod is now tucked up in bed with a huge net and Ive just polished off a fish supper.
