Today was Dudleys first affiliated event and wow it was a hot day. He was a little bit excitable to be there and I didn't have full concentration for his dressage. Despite a 4 & 5 where he decided to watch his neighbours test, he still got an ok score of 37.5. The show jumping was an up to height bold track and he jumped much steadier then last time out so I was thrilled with him, but slight rider error cost us 4 faults at the last fence, oops, got a little excited and let him move on too much and flatten. The Xc was causing all sorts of trouble, but not for my little Dudley, clear inside the time what a star. Unfortunately I can't compete in BE80's because of doing a two star event so we were HC, but had we not had been we would have finished 10th. :-)
