Had my first ever BYRDS competition today, all the way down near the M6 Toll! and its still classed as the NW BYRDS competition, how is that NW? took ages im at j33 and we got off the M6 at 12!

Was doing the C squad level which is prelim, i have to work my way up a little, a few really nice horses and some really nice people as well as soon as Ollie stepped into the warm up a girl told me how stunning he was :D

First test was P12 absolutley kicking myself cause i went wrong (twice shush!) never go wrong but i came thrid with 65.8% and three 8's if i hadnt of gone wrong i would of won, damn it,

then did the C Squad rider test, they mark these really oddly, i dont understand at all the placings were pretty much the reverse of the test before even though they were the same rider and horse combinations?

I got 58/70 which isnt too bad for my first go but i was a bit deflated, i dont understand the comments either cause they are things that i have never ever ever been told i need to improve

Ollie went fabulous though and i was really happy with him and i won some socks!

No pictures i was a bit nervous cause its a bit of a higher level than i am used to so forgot the camera

Excellent - never mind about the going wrong bit - just put it down to experience

sounds like you had a great day. next time perhaps you could ask the judges to explain their comments, it may help you to improve.

Excellent! At least you know you're more than capable at that level if you came 3rd with 2 errors.
