Hello blog, it has been a while!! What a winter...and it isn't even over yet :( boo to rain!! Regal and I are still pushing on in our training, and improving by leaps and bounds!!
We have already kicked off the event season at Galway Downs at the beginning of February, and I can tell we've improved. He is just beginning to act like such a grown-up at the events! All of our warm-ups were great, dressage went well with room for improvement but no blaring flaws. Our cross country round was the best round we've ever had out there. I almost felt like I was on a packer, and I might have been a little on my game that day as well ;) haha. I really felt like we didn't miss once on course, which is an unusal feeling for me, I guess Regal isn't a total green pea anymore!! No hesitation at water, and under time...double clear!! Unfortunetly the missing link has turned into stadium for us. We are on the way to correcting it, but we took a few rails which knocked us from ending up in 2nd to ending in 8th. We're learning though, and I can't wait to see where this season takes us!!
Regal and I are heading to Ram Tap this weekend, fingers crossed!!
