Today was the best day!!! I literally want to bottle this feeling up and keep it forever ๐
We had afternoon times today for the combined training, so a nice leisurely morning getting ready and faffing around and we set off to Little Kennerly ๐๐ผ
With lots of time to spare we set up camp and slowly got ready in a nice calm fashion!! Absolutely no pressure was on and I was the most relaxed at a show that I had ever been! We warmed up a little quick(could have been because we were in with people jumping๐) and headed down ๐
I managed to collar @amy hose once again to read a test that I hadnโt even looked at๐ our center line... was amazing!! Iv never had one so straight!!!
Everything went well from there!! I always put on a smile for the judge, no matter how bad itโs going. But today that smile was real! And it was plastered right across my face for the whole test!! ๐๐๐
Still beaming with pride we walked back to the trailer and Archie had a little sit on the stead ๐ I then realised that it was our turn to go, so a quick change, one warm up fence and we went in!!
We had a little walk down, and then we headed to the first. His bloody front feet are the bane of my life... very lazy into the first and we had a pole ๐ข but he picked up his feet and had a lovely round after that ๐๐
I couldnโt be more proud of my little pony today!! We managed to pull 2nd in our section with a 69.8 dressage and a pole! Iโm so so unbelievably happy with how much we have improved as a combination and how it has all suddenly clicked ๐๐
Was so lovely having my mum and second jockey there for support today!! And top groom Laura of course!
Also a massive thanks to everyone today and yesterday who congratulated me on my all stars! ๐๐ Itโs literally a dream come true! And without all of you guys and your ongoing support it would never have been a thought in my mind ๐๐ค๐ผ
Lots of love Porge & The boys ๐๐
