The following weekend we were booked in for a show jumping lesson with our riding club. Within this session we worked on keeping Prince forward without going too flat, by the end he was jumping superbly, even if we were a bit soggy from the wind and rain.
Finally, our first event of the season arrived! We went to Munstead to take part in the BE80, as a leg stretch for Prince. Thankfully, it was the second class of the day, which meant we didn’t have an early start. We produced a 33.5 dressage followed by a super double clear inside the time to come 7th! Whilst we were competing, we met up with Princes old owners, who were very pleased to see him after 5 years!
The next day, we were volunteering at Munstead Horse Trials, we were dressage stewarding a section, in which we met the likes of Kristina Cook and Pippa Funnel. It was great to see these two riders working in their horses.
Until next month, Sophie and Prince.
