Boogie 🥰
Little Gatcombe horse trials 🥉🥉🥉
In very testing weather conditions yesterday CVS Boogie Nights jumped a fantastic double clear to finish 3rd in the BE90.
Navigated his way through the mud in the Dressage to get a 32.5 score (improved on his Chard score!).
SJ I was a little worried about as he really hasn’t jumped much on grass and this has been our downfall this season. But maybe in the mud he doesn’t mind?! 😂 First time wearing front studs and a stud girth, he really wasn’t phased. Thought I’d see how he got on then perhaps withdraw before XC if it didn’t suit him. But he jumped the cleanest round to date!
XC - visibility wasn’t great when we set off (as you can see!!) I can’t see at the best of times hence the goggles I usually wear, but in conditions like this they’re a bit useless without mini wiper blades 🤣 anyway, luckily Boogie has better eyesight than me and managed a fantastic clear (through some tricky angled combinations too!) just picking up 2 time penalties. He really is turning out to be such a COOL horse!! 🦄
Huge thanks to Pauline Holcombe for all her help yesterday. She turned Boogie out to perfection (I’ll pop a photo in comments) before I completely ruined him, me and all our equipment in the mud 💦 😆
Thank you Richard Taylor Farriery for popping yet another shoe back on Thursday ⭐️
Thanks to Lance & Gary for getting my lorry back on the road after the power steering went!
And a very big thank you to LJP Performance and Rehab for sorting my neck and shoulder out (after driving said lorry home with no power steering 🙈) and enabling me to ride yesterday! You’re the best!! ⭐️⭐️
Thank you Hannah Cox Physio for treating Boogie beforehand and making him feel as good as possible in between 👏👏
Thanks to everyone else who helps behind the scenes to make this happen 😊
