We hacked and jumped a little in the indoor at Saddle Rowe. I used spurs and a crop. He was hesitant to some of the jumps in the indoor because they were all box type things without standards. Our first class was perfect! We ended up winning out of 13 people. We found the sweet spot to every jump and made everything word. Most importantly, I was confident. The second class was the MHJ. The announced the results of the first class right before I walked into the ring. Kellie told me to not let it get to me... I think I took that advice too legitimately. Our first 5 jumps were amazing! Then we cantered around the corner and I gunned him to the in of a bending line and we refused. He tried to go over it. I was just a bit too ambitious. The rest of the class was ok. Last was the NEHC. I went in very confident. The first jump was the jump I had refused in the previous course, but we couldn't do a circle before hand. I was so nervous he was going to refuse that we chipped and got 8 instead of 7 in the bending line. The rest of the course was amazing. Bending 4, roll backs, everything! The judge told Kellie I would have won if I hadn't added in the bending line. :( As good as the class was, I was so upset because I would have won and not had to worry about the NEHC until finals :-/
All in all it was a good day :)
