This past weekend Myself and Mr Eric along with the non-horsey partner headed off to our first Eventing competition of the year to Warwick Horse trials at Morgan Park. Let’s just say it was an eventful weekend full of ups and downs! But boy oh boy, I’m glad to be back out competing with the grey kid as my partner in crime.
Our dressage first up went well scoring mostly 6.5 -7 throughout the test, with some lovely comments from the judges. Considering it was out first event out together, second ever event for Eric and neither of us had been our in forever, to finish with a test of 71.56% I was stoked. We headed into the showjumping next, where the grey kid again didn’t miss a beat with a lovely clear round. A few tight strides in the course I’m so proud with how he handled everything.
On the Sunday we had cross country, where my goals were to be clear and on time, giving him a confident ride. As always I chat way too much to my horses through the course 😂 as some may know! Mr Eric was incredible out on course, so responsive and adjustable, just a few green moments. Overall he finished clear and on time, so very stoked with his run.
Absolutely wrapped to announce we finished overall in 5th in the EvA80 class in a very competitive field, finishing on our dressage score.
As some of you may know we had some major car issues which resulted in the car being towed to Blacks Toyota in Warwick and us all including the float getting lift home. So I would just like to say a massive thank you to .across.countries for getting us home! Could not have done this weekend without you ❤️
A special thank you to my amazing parents and non-horsey partner for all the support and help, and a thank you to everyone who made this past weekend possible!
