Hartpury Take It 2 The Top took part in the Welsh Championships at Chepstow today. The organisers did a super job trying to keep the event afloat, the show jumps were moved numerous times but the boggy slippy going still proved very difficult for many. We qualified at Monmouth last year, the Champs are an Intermediate Novice, which means a higher level dressage with 1.20 SJ then a 1.10 XC . Monty did a fab test to put him well in contention 30, his best score at this level so far. However the ground in the SJ was not taking the torrential rain showers very well, as u can see from the top photo I jumped in the worst of the weather. We had just 2 rails, sadly in my efforts to stay on better ground we also gained 6 time faults. With very little chance of a top place I decided to not run XC and save him for another day. The other photos below are of other competitors just to show how the SJ looked once the sun came out. Muddy!!!
