Well it was the first show of the season at our local Riding Club, so I went and got a new saddlecloth for my boy & cleaned all my tack up, got up at the crack of dawn Sunday morning and out I went to the Show.

I entered for 2 classes, the mini pursuits at 1'9"/2'0" and the mini open 2'0"/2'3", after entering the classes I proceeded to wind myself up & start to feel very ill. I haven't bin in the ring with my boy for over 5 years! OMG i was feeling poorly!

BUT we jumped the first class clear & onto the jump off which just requires another clear over highered fences & a shortened course. another clear! :)

Onto the next class, I was starting to feel quite confident by now, we jumped clear again :D through to the jump off against the clock and about 20 people in it, so i decided to go for a clear round:D which we got!

Im sooo :D :D i feel sooo much better, more confident and feel able to go next time and jump the same classes Whats even more important is my boy really enjoyed himself

IM SOOO PROUD OF US BOTH

this time last month I couldn't pluck up the courage to jump a cross pole!

had to share this with all of you

The 1st class you just had to jump a double clear, and the mini open the jump off was against the clock, so no I didn't get placed & im not sure how far off i was but there were loads of people in it. Im just chuffed to bits that we went in, im soo proud:D

Im even looking for jumping jackets on the net today cause mine won't fit me with my body protector underneath & i wont wear it over the top so was very naughty and didn't jump in it yesteday:eek:
