I am so immensely proud of my homebred 4 year old Nancy, who is out of my first homebred mare Florence. It’s amazing in itself to be able to say that. So the day after she left the yard to be ridden under saddle for the very first time, she went back to S and G Equine Ltd Weaver Equestrian to have her first ever attempt at being ridden in an arena with other horses and to go inside the white boards for a dressage test. She was honestly incredible. Obviously the test was far from perfect and we need to work on a much more consistent contact, but she went in the arena, did a very relaxed, rhythmic and accurate test to score a generous 71.08% to finish up in 4th place in a large field of 18 competitors. Proud doesn’t really begin to describe how I feel right now. I’m a little lost for words. She really seemed to enjoy her experience and had her ears pricked from start to finish.
Thank you to Camilla for coming along to take charge of Ted and film whilst I rode and to Vicki Hall photography for the professional pictures.
