I am just home from a very enjoyable day out at Eland Lodge with my Big Man-Frankie. He had his first BE run for over a year in the Open Novice. Ok so dressage wasn't our greatest moment, he resembled a ticking time bomb somewhat!!! But got away with a 32.5, so we weren't disgraced at all. He went on to have the best time in the showjumping...so many lovely things to spook at but "oh mummy why didn't you say I was here to showjump, I wouldn't have spooked at everything round the arena on route to the first fence" but not to panic he got away with that to and jumped a wonderful clear. Then off we headed to the cross country, quite possibly my most enjoyable, most smiley ride of the season, he was just fab, the professional photographers got some great pictures of our faces, smiling from ear to ear, he made it feel so easy and we throughly enjoyed it. We did add 11.3 time penalties to our score as the time was extremely tight but that doesn't matter I'm just thrilled we had such s lovely time. I think we finished 13th of 33. So much love for my special boy 😘😍❤️😍😘
