Had a lovely day at Stonar School Horse Trials. Duvet Day was in the BE100 and did a super double clear with just 3 time faults. He went so well I think he will easily do Novice. He once again had lots of admirers, he is the sort of horse that makes people stop to say what a nice boy he is, although they often add on "make a lovely hunter"which flattens the compliment a bit! Although today after the SJ one lady admired his big careful jump.
An amusing thing happened, Louise and Alloon Ice whom I teach competed in the BE90.
We both finished 20th in our respective sections and both recorded exactly the same time XC even though we were jumping different courses. Louise was slowed down a bit by a run out at a skinny when she slipped her reins over the preceeding ditch so much that she let go completely! Louise had a 25 dressage wow!
Next outing is Top Gun to do a BYEH class and Icon to the Welsh Championships.
I didn't think it was very amusing, sack the jockey! Don't worry a few more BE90s and Mac will be showing Spicer how its done, ha ha!
