Yesterday, we went to our last indoor show-jumping show of the winter season.
Chelle warmed Rosie up in the clear-round and has a lovely clear, then went into her class, had another lovely clear and I could tell Rosie was on form as she was really taking a hold.
Then we waited for the announcement for the draw of the jump-off. Poor Chelles always seems to get a bad draw and yet again she was drawn first
Chelle knows that when shes drawn first with plenty following on after you, there's only one thing to do. You've got to go for it! And, flipping heck did she go!! The turn Chelle did into fence 2 was unbelievable & good for Rosie taking off.
Anyway, another clear round and VERY fast time. Then its a matter of waiting for everyone else to go.
Rosie and Chelle won!!   Thats my girls! Looking funny in the line up for the prize giving, as Rosie's only 14.3 and just in horse classes and all the big 16.2's were towering over her.
Well done girls!

Well done what I fab result!
I always get drawn first too...It is so nerve wracking if you go clear and you have to wait for ages. But in your case the wait was well worth it! |
