Early start and a long drive today to get to Lara. Weather wasn’t looking too promising, but it turned out ok apart from one brief shower. Got there about 9.45 for a 11.10 dressage test. The test was obedient but felt like Occy could have been a bit more forward. And the judge agreed. And there was that one and a half Tempi Changes where he should have just stayed on the right lead canter that we got an unbalanced comment for. Went we got back to the float Occy hardly waited for me to get off the saddle before doing a huge wee. Another full bladder test, but overall still in the top 10. And that is where we stayed Cross country was clear and only 2 seconds overtime. Occy did feel a bit sluggish though. Showjumping was clear. And we ended up in 8th place
A couple of short videos here, one of Di Politz in Level 5 showjumping and another one of another Level 5 rider doing Cross country. You don’t always have to jump big to have a ball.
