This weekend I trundled off to EANPS on Friday afternoon on my own (!) in the little lorry, to have a play in the Olympia class on the Saturday! Bob was an absolute star the whole weekend and just so easy to look after; he really was good He was quite 'onwards bound' but I enjoyed it SOOO much and was thrilled with how he went - was a real improvement in way of going from the last canter class we did, just need to keep working on him and hopefully we'll keep improving! A big thank you to Penny and Nic for grooming for me when I was on my own, you were both so helpful, thank you!! Wahay!! Flying across the ring.. I brought him back to EAN on the Sunday, as we were showing the youngsters, and had a bit of a ride round on him - needlesstosay he went MUCH better, because I was so much more relaxed....just need to work out a way to stop being so nervous in the ring! Absolutely thrilled with him though, it was the first time I'd been to a show on my own and he couldn't have made it easier for me, I had such a fun weekend

He's positively gleaming - didn't realise that you were that old No stopping you now. I always think you look so in control it didn't occur to me that you even got nervous

Well done Laura and Bobbie! Those pics are fabulous, especially that first one. I'm not suprised you were a little bit tense on your first outing alone and it certainly doesn't show in the pics! Well done - it will get easier and easier the more you do.

well done!, I used to take doris off on my own a lot and I think I coped better 'cos there was no-one to 'lean on' so I just had to get on with it!!, saying that, it's nice when a friendly face turns up ;D
