There is showjumping, dressage, eventing and vaulting, with so many of the world’s leading riders competing. The ERM continues to be a great series for us eventers and long may it continue, it feels so much more professionally produced than any other eventing show.
Both my horses had a good event doing good dressage, but had one pole down each in the showjumping – very costly, particularly in the ERM which Alfie was in – Womble was in the normal three star.
The xc was again like a go-cart track with very tight turns and a tight time, but Alfie and Womble went really well. Unfortunately Womble and I went straight over the top of a flag and managed to pick up 50 penalties, which cost him third place. Alfie felt great and finished 11th – but I was thrilled with both as they felt really good.
Cheers,
Bill
