NISS Dressage Champs

Tonks Went soo wellI got up at like 5 in the morning Pitch black, went to catch tonks bout 20mins later and couldnt find anywhere!! Finally found him hiding in the dark, Once loaded we head to Charlottes - Up honikiwi. We arrived at St peteres at about 8 ish. My first test was at 12.44, so i had ages to wait, But Charlottes was at 8.30 (Hence why we had to get there early) Tonks was reall chilled out i thought he would have gone a bit bonkers cause he hasnt been out in so long, but nah he just dosed in the sun for 4 hours! I hopped on him at about 12, and i had a good 45minute warm up, he was really chilled out!! had to keep pushing him on heaps in the canter so her wouldnt break! =]

I Went in for my first test Which was Prelim 1.4. We was so chilled out, But the judges were a pack of arseholes though. They marked us down SO much. They shouldnt have though, cause he was calm, but not lazy. Bent correctly, etc, but he just had his head a low frame, not "on the bit" 100% of the time, i guess the judges just liked the fancy horses with there head on there chest!! but i was soo stoked with how he went!

Looking at the scores later i only got 50%! and the judge didnt say a single nice comment! what a bitch!

My 2nd Test which was Novice 2.1 was at 2.00 i jumpd on about 30mins before and and warmed him up, again he wasnt phased by anything, This Test got a bit Screwed up but not Tonk's fault i couldnt hear my caller very well unfortunatly. He Broke in the first Medium trot (totally my fault though) and then i got a marker wrong for a trot transition (C, B and E sound similar!!) But his 2nd Medium trot was soooo good! Pity i didnt get to see my results as i hope he got a good mark for that! And his cantering on the loose rein, he was mega good!!

im happy =]
