Saturday saw me take 3 horses to Larkhill for the last event of my season. It has been a season of ups and downs but that's horses and all in all it has been a successful one. Larkhill was no exception.
Pencarder Silver Storm, Wanadoo Too and Kington were all competing in the novice.
Rosie performed a very nice test to score 34.5 she then went on to jump fantastically finishing on this score and coming a credible 3rd. A brilliant end to her season as she was rather put on the back burner and has proved why I like her so much. Sadly she is for sale, although not advertised, if someone is looking for the most genuine, careful jumper, to have masses of fun on. I have no doubt she will go up the grades and prove to be a star but she is small and I am quite tall and squash her! If she isn't sold over the winter I will bring her out and take her 2 star in the spring. She is only 7yrs old and has a huge career ahead of her.
Wally was a little fresh in his dressage scoring 32, he then was a little keen showjumping just lowering one pole and was good xc for a steady clear. He has a huge gallop and masses of jump but he was rather enjoying himself a little too much, pulling my arms out so he was having a lesson in running at my speed! A great end to his season. We never thought he would actually come this far in the short space of time I have had him so to have done 2 novices successfully is a huge bonus.
Stan was rather cheeky in the dressage scoring 36, he also lowered one showjump and was clear xc. I pushed him a little bit more for the time than I have done and he will be easily able to make times when I open him out fully. He finished just outside the rosettes.
So all in all a very successful last event of the season.
