Dressage To Music Winter Regionals
Sing-along-a-Glenn
As we wrote back in October Jad qualified for the Winter Dressage to Music Regionals.
Most of winter was then spent travelling up and down the M6 on my behalf as I took my own horse hunting.
Jad loved a winter of Rest & Relaxation, and Kirsty was bringing him back into work nicely. We even hired an arena, which I duly marked out at 70 x 20 metres by mistake, for a practice session. Then that evening Jad tried to pull away from me on the lead rope, I pulled back, and pulled him over.
As he got back up I was mortified. Scuffed knees and a fat leg! Make up borrowed from someone who shows would cover the one, but you couldn’t hide the other. Kirsty was straight onto the vets and we followed their advice to the letter to get him ready for the big day. The letter involved nothing in the way of practising for the Regionals though.
With such preparation there was no place in the prizes for Kirsty or Jad, but I was proud of them, and I think the music suited Jad admirably.
