Mattingley v the British weather

Sadly the weather took its toll on Mattingley this weekend with some classes on Friday ( apart from those doing dressage a day early ) cancelled. Saturday going ahead and then Sunday cancelled. For the Wellington contingent that meant David , Wendy and Susie got to do everything then David and Ciara did dressage and everybody else was disappointed.

How did they all do ?
Wendy and Scarlet went into the jumping phases on a dressage score of 29.1 were clear show jumping but then had two stops on the cross country .
David ( riding Heather Langton's horse ) dressage 33.3 then double clear and ended 4th .
Susie and Tilly started the jumping on 51.1 did two stunning clear rounds ( cross country at Hugo speed !! ) and ended 13th . Intro class next time ?
Ciara and Hugo did a fab dressage test but then the weather got in the way so all Diane's hard work on the preparation for day two was in vain.

Needless to say it has not rained all day today .

Gutted about the weather folks - I'd blocked out tonight to make more videos!

Well done everyone who got a chance to take part.
