Olly & Brook both qualified for the Regional Finals of the Dengie Showjumping.
This was also held at Sands Farm the day after the Windsor qualifier, so we stayed up over night as it was a really long journey.
Olly went from one extreme to the other, winning the previous day & napping and refusing to go the next.
Brook was good in the Novice Dengie & just had an unlucky pole. She went much better in the Open as it was a bit bigger, but just as the bell went, she had a bucking and rearing fit, then galloped off, so I didn’t have chance to settle her down before the first fence. There were a few scary moments throughout, where an extra stride or two were taken out, but I managed to hold it together until the last fence, where she just took control through a related distance and I just couldn’t hold her, so just touched it bringing it down. But overall a pleasing weekend, although we won’t be going to the Dengie SJ Finals.
