We did it!!!!

Yayayaya!!! Berine and I did our first Prelim! He was such a superstar. I don't know how many details ya'll want, but here are a few... He was good in dressage, and we got a decent enough score (43) not earth shattering, but respectable. (Megan was also convinced that the judge was whacked, which he kind of was.

and so my xmas wishlist begins- starting with your lovely quiet jumping seat/technique!

looks fab, well done! and BIG for a prelim?? prelim here is our beginner level- is there a level before prelim where you are?

[threedaydreams]

Aw thank you! The levels here go Beginner Novice, Novice, Training, Preliminary, Intermediate, and Advanced. Prelim height is max 3'7" Not sure what that is in meters... like 1.1?

really? novice is BEFORE training? peculiar wording! It goes training-preliminary-novice in the 'general' standard of things here, but british eventing specifically goes Intro, Pre-Novice, Novice (which sounds the same as your preliminary- max xcountry of 1.10m, max sj of 1.15), Intermediate Novice, Intermediate and Advanced Intermediate and Advanced, then all the international stuff. looks a substantial 3'7'' to me! go you! have tonnes of respect for event riders, i dont think i could ever learn to cross country properly.

CONGRATS!!! you guys looks great. The stadium looks SO EASY for him!

I'm so happy for you that you've been able to get so much out of this WS position.

Thank you! He is truly a once in a lifetime horse, I wouldn't be anywhere near where I am without him.
