Indy and Ada went down to Lovedale on the weekend and we had a lovely relaxed outing. Indy did the 60 combined training, doing her first ever dressage test and it was only 0.63 penalties behind the leader with a nice 67.81%. She jumped cleanly and that left us in second place from 12 horses- good effort for a mare who is still green at her first comp..
Ada came for a drive too and just popped around a 60 SJ course. She got a bit tense in the warmup but switched on in the ring and just had one rail down (rider error getting the rush of blood and seeing a long spot that I shouldn’t have 😂).
The girls will both have a few weeks off and we will see what we can do before the season hits again 🙈.
