[little lauz]

Hey just wondering if anyone went to the trailblazers champs at stoneleigh at the begining of the month i did it was great !!![IMG]http://heathfields-livery.piczo.com[/IMG]

[Gothika]

Yep but rather unsuccessfully. xD

Did discover what's been making my poor darling play up and not jumping. (Under all the jogging, non-stop pulling, ect believe it or not it was lack of energy!) So now she's pretty much back to normal but for the first time in my life I've had a knock in my own confidence so trying every excuse not to SJ her now

I was on the flashy bay roan welsh cob with 4 socks and high knee action in the senior 75cm. The one who got eliminated in every class at either fence 2 or 3 :P
She was in stable 11 which was on the corner by the muck heap so you may have seen her there.

cant say i remember i was in senior 75cm too can u remember my horse. I was in stable 23 i think . right down the back by stable office.Oh no what has made you loose confidence ? shouldnt give um sj-ing .xx

[Gothika]

Not giving it up, just gonna focus on a bit of dressage and xc for a bit. I dunno actually xD I can't think of what I'm actually worried about as her stops aren't nasty she just switches right off to the leg.

Can't say I remember either

where was it at?

[Gothika]

Stoneleigh Park in Warickshire

oh glad to hear ** not giving up try going back to little tiddly classes get the connection back. Do u wear spurs?

[ranee]

i went too
i was the one on the chestnut in the 95cm who retired at the 4th fence
i was stable 18

[Gothika]

I tried spurs the first day and she was just like Eh? But the trick is to make her want to do it, not to make her go forwards because of the spurs (not saying they're cruel but heaven help anyone who tries to make this creature go when she doesn't want to :P)

Yeah echo Ranee but well done.

It's very posh and pro and very very wide spreads, start practising :P Also very up to height, fences in the 75cm last class looked more lie 95cm.

[x.fat-pony.x]

Oh right thanks! Was my first ever show too so still but confused over qualifiers. It was a jumping comp.
Will have a peek on that website - thanks!

If they are higher cant you complain to the steward?

[little lauz]

i think it was good that they built to height, the oxers were pretty wide but it was a championships i guess !!! i loved my weekend im going to try and qualify for next year to and do the 75cm and 85cm .
