Today was Jumps E.C. in Carluke. Up at 5am *yawn* and set off in good time. However...apparently the A73 is different to the M73 and in typical style, I was lost. Never have I got to this bloody place without getting lost. Anyway, after a heeuuge detour we arrived and got settled.
Our first class was Youngstock and there were 4 in our class of varying types and breeds. Squig performed well, but had the usual ants in her pants at the 'standing still' bit! Judge liked her and the clever lady placed us 1st!! Woohoo! So pleased. This means we qualify for Saltire Series and also Festival of Champions in Edinburgh. A couple more day trips for us, Yeah!
We also had In Hand Hunter/Sports Horse, by which time she was reaallly fidgety but did well again and came 2nd. I think I'll buy that nice lady judge a bunch of flowers for her expert judging...
That all meant we had a Championship to do today aswell, but there was a big break in proceedings and then about 7 more classes. I decided that she had done enough for the day and we had a long journey home so we shared a can of Irn-Bru and hit the road.
All in all, a good day had by all and sweet dreams for me tonight!
