[albilusitano]

.....say's it all in the title. Now I'm scared. :eek:

But thought it was time as the local Unaffiliated events will ban us soon as we keep winning......so thought it was time too.

I'll keep ya all posted !!!

[jovi_y2k2]

[DITZ]

Welcome to the club! Actually I didnt renew my membership this year as realised I was hiding behind dressage as a way of never needing to get any better at jumping! I am starting to get an itch for a test now though!:D

[Lgd]

Well done!

I assure you it is not as scary as you think :D

[andreaB]

ooh , well done you

i'd love to hear your updates as i'm heading that way too with my horse , we won the senior novice & he came joint first elementary last time out , with a list 6 judge so i'm hoping the scored were pretty indicative of bd

ahhh Peanut belive me....it's been tears and pure hard work to get where we are today.....the previous horse I had just didn't turn his hoof to dressage...and this one I had to start from scratch......but to get results means i'm doing something right. :eek: We get the in the end (14 years of trying) - dressage that is !!

Congrats Albi :) And heres to many successes:D

We sent off our aff forms the other day to, and on Sat we are doing our 2nd aff comp, just the prelim again, last time done well under a list 4 judge, Amy won the class and I got 5th, so wonder if we can live upto that again:eek:

That's great news for you too !! 5th at your fist - excellent.

You never know we could meet in the middle then for an affiliated venue as I reckon i'll need to go further a field only have Medstead Grange, Wellington and Merristwood locally. :rolleyes:

[MeMe]

Oh yeah we may do as we do travel quite a bit especially for good venues.

Let me know when and where your going if you travel abit and I'll let you know if its within our range :)

[Blackhorse]

Good luck Albi. It is not as bad as you think. People have been very nice both times we have been out.

We had a good day :rolleyes: Zak did a nice test but under a judge that does not like his type. He was unplaced on 55%. I came 3rd on 60.83% so just scraped my first test towards the pet plans.:D

I have my first booked on the 24/3 T Berks Ag college. I know how you feel with Zak...I have the same with Albie.....some judges just dislike the Iberian breeds....but there are some that also love em !!!!

[jenren!!]

Well i admire you for your work, i certainly wish i was more determined as you - one failure and i quit! Hopefully that will soon change :).

Affiliated dressage...ooo scary but im sure you'll soon be winning those as well :D. What sort of tests did you do unaffiliated? Elementary?

[MeMe]

Glad someone else has that prob Albie, Zak just wants to go everywhere flat out at the mo, he is re-living his youth!:rolleyes: Silly bugger, he needs to act his age!lol

Good luck on the 23rd, we are out aff 24th and 25th, have a lesson this Sun with a local top dressage rider, and a clinic next month with a list 1 judge, and in May a lesson with Michel Assouline and in June a lesson with Vicky Thompson!

All scary, but really looking forward to it :)

[albilusitano]

wow you are busy !!

Vicky at Oldencraig ? I was looking at doing some comps there !! So we may finally meet one day !!

Well good luck and let us know how you get on !!!

[MeMe]

We've done a few comps there, its really nice, professional, but encouraging and welcoming, and Vicky Thompson sounds really nice cant wait for our lesson.

They have some Sunday dates for aff in Sep, if you want to book in for one of them, Im sure we will be and we can meet up :) Otherwise they have aff on Fri's and unaff on Sat's which isent do able for me at the mo:mad:

[albilusitano]
