We've been quietly schooling at home as although I'm desperate to go and jump again, I keep being busy when there's something on, or it's been too hot. Dressage next week though!

We did a thing...

First SJ round since my accident! He's such a good boy. Will do a little bigger next time but wasn't sure how my body would cope as we hack there and back too.

Thanks Jo Blackham and Jade-Elizabeth Plummer for your help with the wild one!

Another good result with the scores higher than last time. 66% and 3rd place. (Same judge as last time too).
Judge wanted a longer lower frame for Prelim which isn't natural for Moley but we're getting there.
Moley was so much calmer than the last 2 outings and much more rideable! He just enjoyed watching the other horses too.

Can't wait for the next one!

What a lovely way to put this...

I know my left rein corners weren't great - my left leg was struggling. I know we have contact issues - always have regardless of the level. But this judge has been kind and positive about it. Thank you 😊

Oh Moley! You star 🌟

I have stepped down to Prelim to return to doing some dressage. I found rising trot the hardest so did prelim over intro.

I couldn't let Moley maintain his rhythm to start. My E-Riders Online Dressage Group first test in February received 57%. But I kept working on it. The scores have steadily risen as did the placings. Each time, it's felt better.

Today's online score is 66.36% and 1st!

The work on our basics is working well. Just need to work on that attention span so we can do it in a test 🤦‍♀️So shiny!

Let Moley choose the hacking route today and after choosing one of our usual loops, instead of turning for home as we usually would, he turned to head in the opposite direction - with purpose - to take us to... CCR Equestrian. Needless to say he was most disappointed that they were closed and actually waited at the gates as if expecting them to open!

Not sure if he was expecting a show to be there like the last time we went, or if he just wanted to move in and not face the cows 🐄 on the way home 🤷‍♀️🤣

I did have to make him turn away! He's a funny boy! We have never joined the two routes together before - we always have turned right at the junction or approached the other way and ridden past the junction if going to, or past, CCR! 🤣 He definitely knew where he wanted to go- I was hoping to go straight past the turning onto Naas Lane but I let him to see where he'd go.

Have to do a show or hire there soon as Moley has spoken!

Today's adventure!

We went to Billow Farm Livery for their charity dressage. This was Moley's first competition going in the horsebox since the autumn before my accident (approx 18 months) and his first competition at a new venue in about 2.5 years!

He was raring to go from the minute he saw his tack go in the trolley to be put on the lorry! Showed his auntie Jo Blackham how well he loads - he was on before I even got to the lorry! He wasn't waiting for me to catch up (I wasn't leading him).

He wasn't happy to stand on the lorry today so I gave up with trying to groom, plait, etc, got on early and just went for a hack before warming up. He's bred as a performance horse so it's not fair on him to expect him to hang around doing nothing. If I end up in the same situation again, I'd plan to hack when I arrive then get him ready! I can't take him for a walk inhand anymore with my leg and I don't want to graze shared areas.

He chilled quickly for a lovely short hack on the buckle for most of it and warmed up really well. He's never been in their schools and wasn't silly or spooky at all. He was just enthusiastic to work regardless of the pace.

He did some cracking work in the test but as always his nosiness let him down! Prelim tests just aren't busy enough to keep his brain off the distractions. I was pleased watching my video back as, besides this, the work was much improved.

My leg was not happy with me by the end but we're still building stamina.

We were just out of the placings by a couple of marks and only 3.5% off 2nd with 65%.

We achieved 5th and 63.33% in our Veteran E-Riders test this month too.

So scores are improving every time 😊
