We had a ball at the TEG Steelworks CCN ODE,
Legend is a Green OTT Thoroughbred that has only had 4 months of part time work/training. He got 5.5's and 6's, and even a 7 for his favourite move, Stopping, in his Dressage. In our Show jumping, much to everyone's amusement, we had a refusal at the first jump, which happened to be the Belrock sponsored jump, once we got over it, he jumped quite well. In the Cross Country Legend was a little nervous, but jumped all the obstacles in front of him, the problem was the operator who let him miss a mark of the course, getting him eliminated. A great learning exercise for us both.
I must thank many, Rhi for finding the horse and her encouragement to give it a go, Ronnie for caring and looking after the horses, Coach Nat Siiankoski, for her guidance and patience with what can be a difficult student, Katie for her help on Show day and all the others that have given, support, guidance, taken videos and photos, its much appreciated.
Congratulations to the organising committee, and thank you to the sponsors for a great weekend.
