Finally the star were aligned and I had the music, floorplan, school free, video-er primed (but on a limited time slot ) ready to have our first go at putting it all together.
Disclaimer for the dressage police :
Time was short, so I had to crack on with a bare minimum warm up in walk
Some of it was winging it a little to fit the final cut of the music, especially the final trot bit
Rider's position and horse's frame are both under close enough critical scrutiny, so I am more than aware heels need to be down in the trot work and positioning for the leg yields need to be clearer/better Free walk needs to be 'free-er' tansitions need to be clearer, mediums better prepared, infact the whole thing will need to be more uphill and energetic, probably also need to find a way to get rid of the bag of cats hibernating inside my jumper!!!
Having said all that, I am chuffed to bits with how it is taking shape.
Sure the music will divide the judges, but it make me smile...a LOT,so that is the main thing
Really looking forward to giving it a go in public and seeing how it is received
We qualified for regionals first time out with our novice and I think this is hugely better than that attempt!!! So fingers crossed someone else thinks it is good enough
Elementary Freestyle first run through
Onwards Wonderpony
