Prelim 7 and Prelim 14 at Bromsgrove Riding Club.<\/p>\n
From start to finish Vin was a star; ‘Mr Chilled Out’.<\/p>\n
He’s come such a long way since we began the ‘need to get miles on his clock’ policy.<\/p>\n
Bromsgrove can be testing for a highly-strung horse<\/p>\n
The riding club venue is\u00a0adjacent to\u00a0six lanes of motorway and as a result a high level of traffic noise blankets the field.<\/p>\n
This makes it perfect –\u00a0in my view – just the venue\u00a0to ‘get miles on his clock’.<\/p>\n
The moment I unloaded Vin he showed he was Mr Cool.<\/p>\n
We tacked up, mounted, walked off and began working in.<\/p>\n
Half an hour later we did P7 and I felt he was brilliant.<\/p>\n
An hour later we did P14 – slightly less brilliantly (a little too much pace in some of the movements for my comfort), but – I was very pleased again.<\/p>\n
I have to give a huge thank you to my caller; she battled against the unrelenting traffic noise but not once did I lose the thread of what was being shouted at me.<\/p>\n
We got placed 6th in P7 and were unplaced (but 7th) in P14.<\/p>\n
Our first rosette! (his second one though – he earned that with Karen on board at the Eventer’s Challenge show jumping competition a couple of months ago when I was unable to ride).<\/p>\n
Yay!<\/p>\n
Tomorrow (weather permitting) we’re going show jumping at Allenshill.<\/p>\n
Fingers crossed! Prelim 7 and Prelim 14 at Bromsgrove Riding Club. From start to finish Vin was a star; ‘Mr Chilled Out’.
