Left home about 9.30 and got there through the twisty turny roads between Yarra Glen and Yarrambat by 11. No short cuts here. Had plenty of time to get Occy ready for his dressage just after 12 and managed to do what felt like a lovely soft forward and accurate test. Even got a comment from one of the spectators to that regard. But the judge obviously saw something which wasn’t quite right and placed me 7th after dressage.
Cross country and showjumping tomorrow. The ground is still quite slippery after the rain from the previous days, so studs are the go. The Cross country course has some big jumps in it as well as some quite narrow ones only a meter wide. So accuracy and forward are a must. Between that and the twisty nature of the course time will be hard to make.
The pictures show 2 of the jumps on the course. A triple with 2 strides between the elements and ending with a narrow meter wide fence. The other is a triple brush with quite narrow curvy sides. Will be interesting to see how it rides
