Last Friday Florence and I headed to Swalcliffe in Banbury for the BRC Horse Trials National Championships. We were in the 100+ Championships. On the first day she did a lovely dressage test for 27.8 to lie 3rd in our section and 4th overall. On the second day she gave me a fabulous ride on the cross country and added nothing to her dressage after the roads and tracks, steeplechase or cross country. Despite me managing to turn my stop watch off after only a second, we still managed to come home inside the time. This left us still in 3rd place in our section and 4th overall, aswell as leading the Best Homebred. We had a few dramas on the third day, first we got held at the trot up, then mum got struck into by Florence, who had had to jump out of the way of a horse that went to kick her, she landed on mums ankle and knocked her on the head and mum had to go to A&E for X-rays. Then we had 4 faults Sj which moved us to 4th place in our section, 6th overall and 2nd Best Homebred. It was a shame to add those 4 penalties right at the end of the event but I couldn't be too disappointed because she jumped her socks off and was fantastic all weekend. And the good news is mum hadn't broken anything, but is badly bruised so very sore but better then being broken
