The Buckley Challenge

Today's goals!
1. Have a jump lesson (and enjoy it).
2. Hoon around Goddard's field.
3. Clear round SJ.

A fab lesson with Wendy set us up for the rest of the day. We had a couple of sticky moments but Wendy's threat to lock me in the Duke's Hall until we'd completed her mini course helped to focus the mind somewhat.

The hoon in the field was more like a collected canter with me barking away at poor old tired Geoffrey to go faster!

Clear round SJ was great - reassuring words from Jane and we were off! The first one was tricky and our line to the second was questionable, but the rest felt great. We buzzed with adrenalin all the way back up to the yard to show off the new rosette in our collection.

A quiet day at Wellington SJ, but a great opportunity to catch up with friends and soak up the sun. Class 4 was entertaining with a late entry from livery yard manager, Kate and Cinders. Sadly Sammi's horse lost a shoe mid-round and Kate stormed home to win the class.
