At a BHS Combines show of jumping/dressage. We made a fabulous round of dressage scoring very high, it was thena theory test followed by a 6 fence jump off, Lady(My horse) managed to wind herself up so much that in the arena she exploded with enthusiasm... The first 3 fences were fairly alright, very fast though and she has extremely short strides, also very strong. 4th fence... Runs out twice... But was probably my fault for not giving enough leg. However, our 3rd attempt we do manage to get over the fence, but the reason you never see us jmuping it is because Lady jumped very steep and very early, and her front feet knocked the pole off and she landed on her back feet, making her almost fall over and sending my onto her neck...(That explained the gasping crowd...) Once we recovered we had to get over the the last double, yeah that happened straight forwardly... It came to me that she wasn't going to jmup it after several failed attempts we opted for jumping the first cross pole again, we did manage that, thankfully. Amazingly we came 5th in our class, so im told. (Combination of dressage, theorey and we were scored on how well we jumped, not enitely based on refusals ect...)
