I won first place!

[crinolinegirl]

At my first ever dressage show!!

I've not shown since 1997 and that was in Canada and in hunters so different country/ different discipline! There are some things I still need to work on for our next show (stop riding so huntery and more dressagey, fix our circles, fix our lines, keep her in a collected outline) but Hattie has come along way since I got her in December (Lucy, the Irish cob I had, got sold last year as she was too strong for my poor arthritic body!).

We did the Intro A test (walk/trot) which is a dressage test for inexperienced riders and/or horses.

Here's a You tube video of out test..

Thanks guys! :sunshine:

My next dressage test is on May 17 so I have a month to work on the stuff that needs fixing. This is why I do vintage, to feed my horse habit!
