Icarus's first ODE pictures!

[IcarusGirl]

Ok, there might be a few here, so get comfy and grab a cuppa! I'm just going to do a brief overview and let you see for yourself. Basically, He was a little star!:D The dressage was ....erm... interesting :evilgrin:. It's the first time he's seen white boards, so he wasnt sure if he was supposed to jump them or be frightened of them. There were lots of 'well corrected' and 'well ridden' and even an 'oops' and 'very scary' comments from the judge:cheekywink:. SJ he was great. He did it all clear :). Next was the WH fences which he's never jumped before. He jumped them all clear, with a few good looks at some of the fences! Then the XC section. He was great, he only had one silly stop at one jump. He slowed down to a few but i gave him a push and he jumped them. I was a little disappointed with the height of the fences to be honest. It was supposed to be a 2ft class, but nothing was over 1ft6. They've got another one in 2 weeks, so we're going back but i think i'll enter the higher class :D

Dressage:
