Tara's Second Show :)

We visited Royal Leisure at the beginning of last month on a lovely sunny day. Due to work commitments I arrived at the show ground without giving my usual helping hand to my friends at Tye Lane at the yard, but at least I could make it!

Tara definitely knew what was going on this time and came out of the box fresh and excited. She was beautiful in the warm up and fabulous in the ring! I must admit I didn't appreciate people clicking at their ponies in the warm up. I suppose it's necessary for them but every time they do it, Tara goes shooting forwards because she hates it. Other than that, I couldn't have been happier.

I didn't have the easiest ride as Tara was very strong but we did a double clear in the first class. In our second one, we had a pole down as we had a stumble after a fence and couldn't fix the problem in time for the next one. Such a shame as she jumped very well throughout the rest of the round. However, we came away with a 4th and a 3rd. We are improving and hopefully will continue to do so!
