Bloomin' well did happen

Warming up. He was actually more forward than he felt at the time. I think my brain was going fast.


"Enter at A in medium trot..."


Medium walk, and Zorro's love of stomping things is stronger than my ability to steer.


Most of the test was in trot. Looking back at the video I'm actually pretty happy with how we're going. I mean, there are a lot of ways we could be better, but for the work we have put in and what I expected, things came out pretty well all in all.

I personally sympathize with the stomping part.

I had another embarrassing scene with a particularly hungry pony who required a snack mid-test and decided the flowers at B looked tasty.

And I won't tell you about the tent falling down during our halt/salute and a series of leaps from the ring with an especially lively mare over one (very long summer)

That looks great to me! Nicely ridden!

Thank you! Sounds like you have some great stories from the Dressage front lines!

I guess I do! All the mortifying stuff happened during dressage tests - the rest of the stuff that happened on XC or Stadium was life threatening or eliminated me, but wasn't deeply embarrassing.
