So just over a week ago Florence and I headed the 113 miles to Lincoln for the BRC National Championships. We were riding in 4 dressage tests and got rosettes in everything. First up was the Novice Riding Test where she did a foot perfect test for an amazing 91.36%...she led for some time but then three people crept up on us pushing us down to 4th. As a team Nantwich Riding Club also picked up 4th. Next was Novice 30. Again she did a foot perfect test but the judge was a little harsh only giving us 66.15% to put us in 9th. Then it was time for the Pairs with Hayley and Molly. Florence and Molly are a lovely little pair and they gained a very respectable 69.64% for a National Champs to finish up 7th. Not bad considering they had only worked together 4 times. And finally we had the Team of 6 for Nantwich. We only started training for that 2 1/2 weeks before and none of us had ever done anything like it before. So to end up 2nd was a great achievement. The team that beat us had apparently done it previous years and won, so very proud of ourselves. Not a bad days work 😀
