After a average dressage test saw us midfield in 16th place we managed to make up a few places today in the Crosscountry and Showjumping. Had a great run even in the wet conditions that saw the optimum time for the Crosscountry increased by 10 seconds. Not that we needed it. Occy only slowed down once to have a bit of a look at jump 9 the Trakehner. He has a bit of a thing about half hidden ditches. But I had to slow him down towards the end so we wouldn't get penalised for going too fast. Came in 16 seconds under time. In the Showjumping Occy had a bit of a look at jump 7 or something near there and ended up putting in a real short stride and came in too deep and dropped a rail. But it have made no difference to the final result of 5th. :-) Now just need a good dressage test. Getting my saddle back tomorrow from having a popped cair panel replaced, just in time for Lakes and Craters at Camperdown next weekend.
