He is only 9yo and has such an exciting future when everything all comes together in the white boards. Tomorrow I am sure will prove not to be a dressage competition!! A beautiful course, some serious questions and some VERY BIG jumps!

Cross country

I'm so incredibly proud of him, he felt absolute class all the way round! He jumped all the tricky combinations like a horse that has been established at this 4*L level, yet he's only 9yo!

We found a great rythmn from the start, he galloped and jumped out of his stride to be up on every minute marker. An unlucky miscommunication at the first water crossing, we were a little too quick bounding down the hill but then back on it to absolutely nail the influential 2nd water and following combinations. He gave me the most incredible ride for nearly 10mins and one that I will always remember. 

Close to the end I gave him time to catch his breath after another hill as he felt tired, then feeling of running on empty as I approached the 4th last. He jumped but I decided to put my hand up after and call it a day. He owes me nothing and he has nothing to prove, still so young and will have learnt so much. His longest and toughest track todate and he felt absolute class up to then.
