Chance has been in training since the end of August and he has really muscled up in the legs and his back has become higher too. I actually got a 'chance' to ride him a few weeks ago! I intended to just get on him and walk around but my trainer asked if I could trot him and even though it had been almost a year since we did it! And it went well! Felicity and I did another schooling show and improved our score by 5% points with a 57.25%. The main thing that bothered me with this show was that everyone else got a considerably higher score than me even one girl who was showing for the first time. It seemed like it was a contest of who paid the most money at the barn not necessarily who did the best performance. The walk trot class was completely bogus, the girl who got first place in the class, her horse spooked at the end and the other woman, her horse kept slowing down and stopping and she kept messing me up because I was behind her but I started off almost half an arena away from her. She got second place. I am just waiting for her to move up a level or for me to move up a level. My Felicity did her best but just because she was at a different level meaning she isn't always round we got marked down.
Since then Felicity and I have been working really hard on our circles and trot work. We are doing a dressage freestyle in December, I'm really excited to do this! We are really improving and I'm just so happy about it
