did avon riding club unaffiliated dressage yesterday, i borrowed my partners cob who is a veteran schoolmaster at dressage.

prelim 7 - came 6th had some 9s!!!!
prelim 10 - came 7th (forgot one move and lost 4 marks) otherwize all 8s and 7s with a few 9s and a 6 for my free walk
 
novice 21 - came 5th all the competitors were really close together in 3rd, 4th and 5th so if i hadnt done my half 15m circle in the wrong place and lost 2 marks - who knows i may have been higher up the placings.  
 
oh well more next week!  at hurn bridge equestrian centre. they are doing prix caprilli tests which are very exciting as i will have to leave the ground.
