We had an amazing day at Withington today with all our BSJA trips finally paying off with Squirrel producing a foot perfect clear. He went on to repeat this performance in the XC, with an immaculate round on the optimum time.

Unfortunately we didn't get our normal dressage mark - I think he found the medium trot practise in the warm up on a very windy day a little exciting and perhaps had 10 minutes too much warm up too. But he produced some lovely work and finished the event on his dressage score of 33.5 in 4th place.

We took White Walker (Squirrel) to Goring Heath today and once again he produced a sub-30's test. He performed very well in the SJ, with just one fence down, but it was a very nice round.

XC he was fabulous and really fired up and ready to go! I love seeing him enjoying the sport as much as I do and he flew round clear with just a few time faults as I had to really hold him down the very steep hill as he was perhaps enjoying it a little too much! However, he came back very nicely at the fences and jumped all the combinations brilliantly and confidently, so we're all very pleased with finishing 4th.
