It was nice to have husband Thomas with me to drive so I could put my feet up on the way home and relax.
Percy and I did the Novice at Broadway today. Our day started really well with a dressage of 32 which was quite well placed in the section, I think about 7th. But then in the showjumping he showed quite a lot of discomfort in his mouth and actually almost stopped at a fence but motion carried him forward and he crashed through the fence. He then jumped the majority of the course much better but then did the same at the last fence, when I half halted him he threw his head back smacking me in the face and then had the fence down. He had his wolf teeth out recently and I think this may be giving him a little bit of discomfort. I decided that I wouldn't run cross country because I didn't want to cause him anymore pain. It was very unlike him to behave in that way. It was nice to have husband Thomas with me to drive so I could put my feet up on the way home and relax. Thank you Carrie Mansfield for taking some lovely pictures of us in the showjumping 😊
