This weekend I competed in pony club horse of the year. Jackson was AMAZING, did not put one foot wrong the whole day, actually he slept for most of it haha. Me on the other hand, was a total loser. The competition consisted of a dressage test, 2 show jumping rounds at optimum time and a novelty course.
Dressage he did so well, it was his first ever dressage test.. And mine! I have never ever done a dressage test before, so i was over the moon. We got 75.71% which put us in 3rd. even though he rushed and was a bit uneven, we mainly got 8's and 9's so i was stoked!
Novelties we had the fastest time, which put me into second place. Jackson had never seen 99% of the things in the novelties course, which consisted of bending poles, flags and mugs and he was an angel.
Show jumping... Well, I screwed us up majorly. i just went around happy as could be, letting Jackson go his own pace. I did my two rounds, then found out the optimum time was 90 seconds, our slowest show jumping round was 62 seconds. oops...
After show jumping we came 4th overal, out of 12 people which is SOOO good! I am so proud of Jackson but so peeved off at myself, i was one point away from second... SO CLOSE.
Anyway, if you read this thank you so much. Please comment :)
