Had a fab day out at Glanusk Horse Trials. Walked Icons course for Sunday, its a lovely Intermediate but the ground is already hard with 2 days of hot weather forecast, so we will make a decision about running him tomorrow evening.
Monty (Hartpury Take It 2 The Top) did the 4 year old class, he forgot all about claiming his ASBO and behaved so well. His dressage was unsettled, courtesy of some horse flies that I was swatting as I tried to ride the test. He had the first show jump down and then went clear, he had good enough marks to make the top ten and finished 5th. Amazing.
Then Top Gun had a go at the 5 year old class, he did his best ever dressage and his best ever show jumping round gaining one of the best jumping marks of the day. He also scored 14 out of 15 for confirmation. He made the top ten and went in for the final. He finished 8th as the judge for the final was a Show Jumping lady, hence the slightly stockier horses were preferred over the thoroughbred types.
Came home with £20 prize money, lovely rosettes and very pleased with my boys!
