Another Sunny day Eventing - This time at Sapey

Rif Raf gawped her way through her dressage test!!! She was first to go at 8 am and she was the only horse in any of the 4 arenas, she couldn't understand why she was in a different field to all the other horses and SHE needed to see what THEY were all doing. One by one the other horses trotted through the gate to start their tests in the other arenas and everytime this happened Rif Raf turned into Mrs Nosy Parker!!! 

Despite our Giraffe impersonation of a dressage horse she scored a surprising 34.

A double clear followed, she pinged the SJ and was again first to go, it was a big wide track for a 90 and very few clears followed her example. 

The XC was a big step up for her, with a more spooky course than at Howick. the blue boat before the water was pretty startling, knees up - see below!!!

She's not naturally a spooky horse and didn't spook at any of the fences although we had a sideways wobble at a large dead hay bale before the combination at the top of the hill. This reminded me that despite her feeling like an old super sensible horse most of the time she may still have the odd baby horse moment!
