What a night! Super venue very similar to Addington but packed full of show jumping enthusiasts, many in black tie enjoying a posh dinner overlooking the arena. The night started bang on 7pm with a driven course walk by Boyd as we felt the crowd might not have seen extreme driving before. We then all drove one round to decide the starting order for the real competition. The atmosphere was electric and my horses lit up like a Christmas tree and dragged me past the first obstacle and left me hanging on for grim death for the whole round. I was summarily last so had to go straight away again as first to go in round one. A couple of tactical bit changes and we had a much smoother round! I could then watch the others ....Wilf had similar strength issues leading to too many knock downs. Dick drove a very slick round but 2 knock downs dropped him 2 seconds below me. Boyd blitzed it with a phenomenal time. Everyone drove a better final round to leave the final order as Boyd , Georgina, Dick and Wilf. Hopefully the main page will publish the scores for those that are interested. The next indoor is Addington at the Conference. It is a needle contest between Dick and myself for one of the wild cards at Olympia (Boyd already has the other wild card offered). We are both keen to get there and there are only seconds separating us so the heat is on...! | ||
