Trying his little heart out

Back to some familiar surroundings today, both venue and level. We've done this test on a number of occasions and done a bit better but today was about getting back to where we were with new found skills!

Overall it was a mixed test with varying scores (from 4 right up to 8) but all in all I'm pleased with the result, not to mention the 6th place and a rosette!

Although the judge noted 'none shown' for the mediums I am rather chuffed with the final canter where he does appear to extend his frame a bit more. We're getting there!

Best comment from the judge ' Abundant energy'! She's got his number alright.

Back to basics

So after a few months of both of us throwing our toys out of the pram we visited Sparsholt at Prelim level to see if we could get a half decent score and some nice comments to spur us on. 63.18% later and there was one happy Ruthie and Geoffrey.

A fair bit to work on still but more consistency in all three paces and a nice quiet ride.
