Blues debut at British Dressage was a mixed bag of good and not so good 🙈 today.
A tentative entrance up the centre line and a car crash infront of the judge!!😮
(See video , not sure what happened)!
We still managed 67.75% and 66.67% in our tests which gives him 8 points in his very first outing at Prelim, so a lot to be happy about. I know there's so much more for him to give but just need to get our mojo back after losing Rumba , we were both definitely tense and edgy today. Maybe we went out a bit too soon. 🤔🐴🥰

A taster of what is to come at Lydias groundwork demo on the 22nd Jan, here at longclose cottage .
Here is a horse who has never experienced this way of training feeling all the benefits of finding relaxation throughout his whole body. You can see he's stood square with a relaxed posture - as this posture is taken into movement it helps to support the development of correct muscles.
To find out more and see how we achieve this, come along! 🤩
Its free too!!!👏
