Julia’s Easter Holidays

27.4.2011 von Julia.

While everbody else competed in Badminton, I took advantage of the situation and went to Bielefeld with Louis and Coco, they both started Novice level.

For Louis (Lost Prophecy) it has been his first outing after surgery last December, and I am blissfully happy to be able to say that he is eager to be on again!! He did a very nice dressage test which would have earned a better score than 7.5. In sj he was maybe a little too motivated, presumably because xc was already going on nearby, thus he had both poles down in the last combination (annoying, but as I know him, he will be more focused already next time..) During xc he was VERY eager, which was quite a challenge for me, but made me extremely happy, because less than half a year ago, things had looked very differently…He played with the fences as he used to, and because he made such a good impression, I scheduled the CIC*** Marbach as his next event!!!

Coconut Dream seems to become a shooting star! It was his first Novice (and 2^nd event ), but he seemed quite unimpressed. He started his dressage test smoothly, but then began to shake his head (I suspect that he got stung by an insect or the like)…In sj he had  a confident clear round and tackled every fence in xc in a convincing manner and with a good drive, while he was always easy to control. His next competition will be the CCI* in Everswinkel.

On Sunday morning, I took my two babys (Eragon and his little sister Eline) to Telgte for another Aptitude test. Eline demonstrated her brother how to calmly stay in marching order and achieved a 5^th place with a score of 7.0 at her first competition! Eragon tried to squeeze in some extra cantering, but performed well otherwise and got a 6.5

Next weekend will see me in Velen where Doc Harriot will have a go in CIC** and First Flights Beauty and Eragon in VA (BE 100)

Best regards, Julia
