Sorry for hardly updating again... but I have been revising non-stop as I have exams very very soon for university :s
Well this weekend I went to Tushingham arena with Oscar for the Trailblazer Championships second round qualifier, I had qualified in the 95cm class , so I went along really not expecting anything as yet again I had been at uni. all week and hadn't ridden at all. Oscar was a little super star , it was two phase and I had to jump clear in the first round and the first 7 qualified , so I knew that if I wanted to qualify I would have to go double clear. We jumped double clear to my relief and we put in a good time which put us into 4th , so we had qualified !! I know 95cm is a lot smaller to what we had been jumping a few weeks before , but he went loads better compared to southview 2 weeks before when we bulldozed our way through the discovery class. So then I jumped the 1.05cm. I was just going to school him round it because I hadn't qualified for the 2nd round qualifier on him, but again he was jumping fab and jumped a super double clear , I decided then I was going to practice some jump off turns over the bigger height and he was foot perfect and we went into 2nd !! I was so happy, though I was a little annoyed that I hadn't qualified first round , if I had I would have qualified two classes. But I was super pleased with him and he was jumping out his skin.
I also went to Equiport this weekend and what can I say I was in equestrian heaven. I bought a new show jacket as I was in need of one and I think it is now the lucky show jacket as I did so well at the show just after buying it !
I have my end of year exams next week so I am going crazy trying to revise for them.
Octavo had their first concert and it went really well and we made over £500 towards funding our tour so we are getting there slowly.
on another note , I have been asked to sing with a madrigal group made up of singers from the choir I am in , in Manchester and students from the Royal Northern Collage of Music , so I cant wait to get started on that!
So I have a really busy month or 3 :P firstly exams and then Bolesworth and then the trailblazer finals :)
So thanks for reading me going on about nothing
