It’s hard to believe I’m only taking one horse to the next show.

Well…..

I guess that’s not “technically” true.

I will have two WITH me…….

but I’m only competing one.

I’ve always wondered about “non-compete” horses at competitions….

WHY?

but I’ve discovered if you’re living as a nomad…..

sleeping in your horse trailer……..

and going from venue to venue, it’s possible you’ll end up somewhere with an extra horse.

I have to say there has been some rather significant pestering suggestions from friends that if I’ll be there with two horses, I should be COMPETING two horses.

But not this time.

What’s different you ask?

Red numbers.

Yep.

It’s happening.

Bad Eventer will be attempting the red numbered jumps.

Seems impossible doesn’t it……..

In true Bad Eventer fashion………I sat down to learn my new dressage test and it went something like this….

Ok, let’s see what we’ve got…….

Enter at A

That’s pretty standard………

Collected trot………….

Um……..uh……………what exactly is the difference between Collected Trot and Working Trot?

No worries, I’ll google that later.

Halt at “I”………..

Letter “I”…….

Let me think………………..

…..um……. King Edwards Horses Carry Many Badevent Fools………………

OMG – where the Hell is the letter “I”??

Yep, Bad Eventer is moving up to I.

Ruh Roh.
