Our third ever showjumping competition, and we got 5th out of about 15-20 people
Couldn't believe it.. We had a clear, fast round, except for ONE refusal..
Because it was the scary fence
The person who got fourth knocked down a pole..
But knocking a pole beats a dodging of the jump!
But he had gone clear he probably would of come second with his time!!
Then we got 4th in the baby jumps (40cm) he just steps over them haha
and we ended up going up to the 85cm round
Biggest we have ever done at a comp.. and he was so great.. I knew we would have refusals, because of the double jumps, we are still working on our striding in between.. I think we had 3-4 refusals over the whole course of 14 jumps... It was just the same 2 jumps, he refused them twice cause they were scary
Mostly my fault, i wasn't leaning back and pushing him on!
But third ever comp, i am so proud of how well he is doing.. This is the 5th time we have ever seen a showjumping course, so i knew he would be a bit worried with the big jumps.. But he also never knocks the poles!
We have lots of pics, so i will post some pics later!
