Podium Place 🥉
Last week we headed down the road to our first outing of the season at Oasby Horse Trials.
It was Pumba’s first registered run and he certainly didn’t disappoint! The rain held off this year, but the wind was something else — Callum spent most of my dressage test making sure my grandma didn’t blow away! 🌪️
Despite the atmosphere, new surroundings and questionable weather, Pumba worked his socks off in the dressage to produce a 26.8 and put us in a great position going forward.
He jumped an awesome clear in the showjumping — feeling confident and focused despite the blustery conditions.
Out on cross country he was calm, brave and took everything in his stride, finishing clear and inside the time to secure 3rd place , with just 0.8 separating the top three.
I’m so proud of how he handled the day and how he keeps stepping up every time we go out.
Huge thank you to .barber.5891 for helping me unlock this horse and showing me what he’s capable of.
