Moreton Morrell BE90 ODE

24th September 2011

Dressage not brilliant, clear SJ – and a fabulous clear XC! What an end to the season!

West Wilts BE90 ODE

10th September 2011

Aina is now well aware that she has XC to look forward to, and her dressage concentration is deteriorating. No matter; her work at home is coming on beautifully, and she will settle in time.

Dressage, then, not too good! Clear SJ, as we have come to expect. This time her one run-out was totally allowable; at an offset skinny corner as the second part of a double, quite technical for this level. Again, staright through a strange water.

Solihull BE90 ODE

21st August 2011

A long trek up to the edge of Birmingham brought a passable dressage and another SJ clear. Roz was sent back from the XC start for an expected hour's delay due to a faller, then suddenly recalled and had to start almost at once. She had a horrible ride over the first few fences with Aina not concentrating, and ran out at the fourth. Afterwards they got into their stride and finished like a train, including going fluently through their first unfamiliar water complex.

Sapey BE90 ODE

17th August 2011

After a XC school at Hilltop jumping every ditch they could find, Roz and Aina made a confident start at this level with just one run-out XC.

Urchinwood ODE

31st July 2011

An unaffiliated pipe-opener for Roz and Aina to start the summer. Unfortunately, after a good dressage and clear SJ, they fell victim to the bogey fence, an open ditch, collecting 20 penalties which dropped them out of contention.

Jobs for the Boys

25th July 2011

Two months' hell trying to get two clapped-out old mares in foal. Sam's inamorata Pepsi, though 21, was worth trying, having being placed as a Small Hack at the Royal International Horse Show. Xan's girl Willow, though comparatively a spring chicken at 16, had persistent fluid on the uterus and couldn't conceive.

Both old girls were exceptionally obliging, and the boys thought all their Christmases had come at once, while I gradually lost the will to live as one negative scan succeeded another.

Intruders…

26th June 2011

We had some visitors on the yard last night. In the morning both boys' doors were wrongly, inadequately, but identically fastened. Someone had opened both doors and gone into the boxes overnight – stallion boxes, and with two mares, one full in-season, on the adjoining yard. It was incredibly lucky they didn't let either, or, worse, both of them out.

Most likely it was people from the campsite walking the long way round back from the pub after a skinful, and larking about without realising the risk they were taking. But it's padlocks on both doors from now on.

Sapey BE80(T) One-Day-Event

13th April 2011

Better dressage – no vertical take-offs his time, clear SJ but a couple of run-outs XC. Never mind; two starts, two completions. And through the water without hesitation!

Roz is now back at university, so nothing more until August.

Howick BE80(T) One-Day-Event

3rd April 2011

Roz and Aina's British Eventing debut!

Dressage started nicely, until Aina spotted and jumped an imaginary fence in the arena. Roz kept her cool admirably, and still managed a nice test.

Clear SJ and XC (except for time faults, which at this stage are almost mandatory!) – great start!
