Mixing It
THE FELLA enjoyed himself mid-week.
His exuberance in the dressage resulted in his best score yet.
Showjumping was, ahem, exhilerating. I was trying to take photos but the sod was running so fast and low that all my shots are badly mistimed. There is a nice shot of a falling upright frozen in mid-air. Amazingly it was the only one he took out. My initial fears were for a cricket score.
The effect of the new brakes across country has worn off. After a massive leap over the steeplechase brush and a barely controlled run over a triple he ran far too fast up to the bank only to stop dead at the last minute, throwing RIDER clear.
RIDER can feel a little less embarrased as one of the Olympic long listed riders stopped at exactly the same fence - although she did remain seated. Unfortunately being helped back on to THE FELLA by someone that looked very like an Olympic Sliver medallist did not help.
