A Habmleden full of hiccups was about the size of my weekend! With 6 rides at this stunning venue I managed 6 reasonable but not dazzling tests, four show jumping clears and two with just 4 faults and ONLY 2 XC clears. Seriously frustrating blips on all those in contention. I guess I have to put it down in the great book of life under the chapter of experience...experiences NOT TO BE REPEATED!
These lovely photos from Point Two and Tim Wilkinson taken at a happier moments of my pesky weekend:
With 3 alarms pre 4am this weekend, and each day finishing with rides on my precious Badminton boys at home post 6pm I was mighty relieved to only wake at 6am this morning with a lovely trip up the gallops on Luke and Willy to look forward to. They smoked up the hill at Wendover and gave me a real boost. This is the start of a new week and we have huge excitements ahead. Tomorrow they will have a hack and do some stretching work in the school in readiness for 2 days dressage with Andrew Fletcher and a canter and jump on Friday with Withington to look forward to on Sunday.
The realization is dawning that the great event is now only days not weeks away, and I am utterly determined to enjoy every step. I am very much there to do a job and produce my very best with firm goals for each phase, but its a poor show if I can't make sure I appreciate just how lucky I am to be in the position of having 2 horses to take to my very first Mitsubishi Motors Badminton.
