On the move again!

JJ and I moved to college on Tuesday, he seems to have settled much quicker than he did at his previous yard despite only being there a few days. We have tried out the horse walker and also had a go at grazing on the bank in the cross country field!

Last night (11/09/14) we attempted a dressage competition at college. We competed in the Introductory A and Preliminary 4 tests and to my surprise we came 3rd in both with 66.3% and 65.5%! 


Overall he did very well, as he can be slightly spooky in new environments (the indoor school being a perfect example!) It was also his first time without a martingale and in a hanging cheek snaffle, which he seems to have responded to well.

The judge said he was 'an attractive horse with a good forward thinking attitude' that showed some 'lovely work' - long may it continue!
