Splash has had a couple of outings in the last few weeks.
With my friend on board he went to Lanark RC's walk/ trot day to do intro A. He was a very chilled boy, a lot more settled than his last outing in June, took everything in his stride, for reasons to annoying to go into he then got very tense for a bit but did eventually settle and got 3rd for his test - score of around 59%. I rode him arooound for about 15 mins afterwards.
On Sunday he went to West Kype's first dressage day with yours truly in the plate - though my friend did ride him around for 10 mins first! - Intro A again and we got 65% and 3rd. Chuffed
Last night our RC had it's dressage club night, P13 this time, I was very pleased with him, his trot was lovely, a little deep at times but would rather than than resisting and throwing his head up. He was very attentive and tried really hard. Judge didn't agree though so finished just out of the placings and was slightly gutted with the sheet (my inner competitiveness is coming back!) especially the 5 for submission........ BUT that's dressage for you Have been boosted by several people agreeing with me though
All in all I am delighted with him and me, small steps but I am getting there ;D
