Our Boy König (Keep The Faith ) has now done his first big tour international at Wellington Riding this week.
It’s always such an honour to ride under the Union Jack 🇬🇧 and with our homebred even more special.
Lots of new firsts for him, A trot up and all the excitement that goes with that, temporary stables with flappy roofs and it was stormy 🙈 and competing under top International Judges but he dealt with it all really well until the last day but I’ll get to that.
Grand Prix day I rode for a nice experience for him and that he would cope with the energy that comes with the big atmosphere shows that he isn’t used to just yet,he tried really hard and we did an Ok job and an International GP horse he became, I’m so proud but now the journey really starts 🦄❤️🇬🇧
Second day was Grand Prix Special day his first my first in 13 years I normally do the freestyles but he hasn’t got one yet so GPS it was.
Weather was horrendous but I ride him in all weathers so that’s no big deal but the noise from the cutlery in the tent and the umbrellas took him by surprise so the left side of the arena was a disaster but I felt just keep riding get to the end let him realise it’s all ok in there.We won’t talk about my mark but it’s a Marathon test and my fitness work with him and Equine rebalance therapy water treadmill that is based at Wellington Riding has paid off as he didn’t tire physically he was just a bit over awed but marched back to the stable super happy 🙈 horses eh 🤣
Over both tests what was so Lovley to read were the judges comments,Keep going he’s got talent! Impressive horse,Energetic horse, A shame your Lovely horse was spooked today.
Come on König together we can grow now and hopefully develop more confidence 💪
I’m competitive and used to ups and downs with the sport so I have to put it behind me and move onwards.
I came home with a fit, healthy, Happy horse who now is a muddy hippo whom I adore dearly 🤣 He will have a short break then onto Hartpury CDI 🇬🇧
Huge thank you to Yvonne Parsons who came to help we were exhausted for a long week but we had lots of laughs,hugs and not much food so hopefully a few pounds lighter too ! 🤣🤣
Big thank you to everyone who came to support and help me,one day hopefully a prize giving for you all 🙈
Thank you to the kind people who sent me DM’s after my GPS much appreciated of your comments 🥰
