First Scope Qualifer of the season!

Today we went to Bold again this time outdoors which I was pleased about as he is a bit easier to ride in a larger arena.

I jumped the Newcomers first and I have really been working hard on concentrating on keeping a steady and consistant rhythmn, and he was jumping a fabulous round until he came past the entrance gate and unfortunately a gust of wind blew over the declarations board causing a loud bang and startling Pete.  He hesitated on the takeoff of the nest fence and had it down then shot forward.  I managed to regain the rythmn the best I couod but he also had another fence down to finish on 8 faults.  It was a real shame but these things happen!!

Then we jumped the 1.15m Members Cup Scope qualifier.  This was only the 2nd 1.15 class we have jumped and Pete jumped a brilliant round lovely and calm but just breathed on a pole coming out of the double for 4 faults.  It was a really undeserved fence to have own and I was very pleased with the way he jumped.
