Winning start to 2010!

Yesterday we were having our first outing of 2010!
With Mum having been away in Scotland for the past week, Felicity and I have been in charge! With 7 horses competing at JAS, we had a manic day on Saturday trying to get everything worked and then washed.. it was a serious system we had going... Tack up, ride, pass to felicity to give them a make-over under the lights and on to the next!!
Then came the packing of the lorry... I have to admit I was rather excited when Philip parked the shiny new lorry outside the yard!!!
Sunday morning came and it was another manic session.. Grace and I getting the horses suited and booted for their travels, whilst Felicity mucked out and fed the ponies staying behind!
We loaded the big lorry and then the little lorry!... Off we went to Solihull.
I think I will be here all day if I try and go through each jumping round, so here is a short recap!!
UNO DI LANDRO jumoped double clear in the BE100 and the Novice, finishing 9th and 4th respectively.
NOBLE BESTMAN was a star and jumped double clear to win the Novice, we then had a minor miss communication and he turned too tight into a skinny and missed it! He still finished 9th in the OI.
JITTERBUG was on flying form, considering she hasn't been to a party since 2008.. she was on best behaviour! Double clear in both the Novice and OI, finishing 2nd and 1st respectively!
VANCOUVER was rather excited in the Novice and thought he knew best so wasn't really listening to me! He had one fence down and was HC as he has too many points! In the OI he redeemed himself and finished 3rd after a lovely double clear.
FWENHILL CRISTAL was a little shocked at how many fences were in the arena... his eyes were on stalks! He had one down and a stop (very unlike him) in the Novice and then 2 down in the OI to finish 10th.
All in all a good start to the year...
