RL
Sunday:
Left home and went 2 JB to the DVD shop. Bought some there, then went and ate at a hotel, buffet... it was alrite.. quite good actually for an totally asian hotel!! Name was Mutiara or something... Nways arrived at RL n then Ellesse told me sum stuff. At 4pm rode Boots, Private w Jay. D first 30 mins i had 2 do dressage... halfhalt etc... then we started jumping :D That was quite good... in the evening we watched Scary movie 2 n we chatted online.There was also a huge cake at dinner for Elle bcuz of her Bday. Ha ha it was so cool!! At dinner.. sennett was rly excited bcuz they had carols at RL the nite before, so he asked camille bout how he found them, camille said they were ok, then he asked myrs... myrs said they sucked and couldnt sing....So then catz came and sennett was like ahh catherine, how did u find d carols last nite!! Sennett expected her to reply something nice HA HA!! Catz was like: We had Carols?!?! Ha ha every1 had to laugh so bad!! So blond n blur man ;)
Monday:
Sennett took me n elle 2 d village. I was on T blue, elle on sarabago, sennett on fly. We took a diff trail but then there was this huge hole in d ground n we had 2 cross over sumhow... Sara jumped over it.. Fly n Blue didnt dare so me n Sennett had 2 get off them and walk them down the hole then up again. On the other side there was a lil river. elle went through it and sarabago sunk in the sand.. When she got up from the sand again sennett tried... Same w fly he sunk and squealed and tried desperatly to get back up. When both of them were back up we walked (off d horse) up a hill,only way we had. It was rly slippery. When we got up d hill there was d Village finally!!! We got an iced milo there and stopped and rested there for a while. Then we got back on and had 2 walk the same way back. Back at that huge hole sennett said we shud try to jump over it (jay told me he had never seen true blue jump, ever!) true blue jumped it tho... he first went down the hole... then he took a huge leap and jumped up... i kinda got left behind n so i looked kinda weird, but managed to stay on. When we got bk to RL we had a SR.... ellesse on prissy n me on Crowe... did flatwork in Paddock B. After Lunch had a jumping lesson w Myrs at 4pm, i neva thot i wud say this but it was one of d hardest lesson ever! We had to jump in paddock A cuz Elle was using B... Myrs set up this jump... first an upright,then one canter stride pole,then another canter pole stride and then one more upright!! I was like WTF?? Had Crowe in that lesson he was alrite.. first he kept refusing d second jumps but then he got rly good and he had a rly good rythum. After jumping that bout billions of times we went down to Paddock B. There we did this circle jump... As in u jump the jump then circle jump it, circle, jump it, circle etc... That went very good. The jump was the same jump as at the competition (d hard one)... after jumping it a few times i turned crowe too sharp and he jumped it rly weird, as in not straight like rly cut... i lost my stirrups and nearly fell off ha ha!! I stayed on tho... dno how but i did... that lesson was freakin hard!! ha ha!! In the evening we went on d pc and stables.
Tuesday:
There was a huge racket going on at 6am bcuz of us...Nways at 9am we went for a lil Trail.. i was on Crowe, elle on Prissy, just walkin the horses tho. At 10am i took a dressage lesson. i was suppost to ride Crowe w Myrs but "nice" catherine changed it to sandman w her a private... That was rly hard!! I kept havin to get him on d bit, control his trot n canter, keep going forward and everythin else... PRIVATE LESSON PPL!! Lol!! Then we did canter and his canter is rly nice but it was tiring!! Ha ha.. wat i hate bout catz private lessons is that she says ok one more time and then its billiions more times!! I was so freakin tired afta that lesson! I was like to her can we plz stop cuz im freakin tired!! N she was like ok once more... n then i had to canter n trot him for 10 more mins!! Nways afta d lesson got ready and packed, then ate lunch.. then we drove to sg (agnes,sennett,myrs,me n elle). In sg we went a lil shoppin n then elle had to go for modeling interview. My dad picked me up then n then went home.

Competition at RL
Before the Class
Me on Boots in Prelim
Crowe refusing
Crowe ACTUALLY jumping the jump!
Medals!!!
Group Piccie!!
Im so tired!!! Lol dont wanna blog, takes up so much strenght to remember things ;)
Friday:
Left at 4pm after school w Steph. Arrived at RL bout 5.30pm n put our stuff in sum1s Room.... Had a lesson at 6pm w Jay. Suppost to ride Crowe for half an hour and the other half hour Boots. Anna and Nat got to practise their Dressage..... me n steph didnt... Crowe was acting up in jumping and Boots was really good in jumping. In the evening we watched the Haunted Mansion and Undercover Brother.
Saturday:
Got up early and got my coat from Catherine. Sometime at 8am went down to stables and got on Crowe to warm him up. He was gd gd... got 7th placing with him in novice 2.1 . Didnt get placed in Prelims w Boots cuz I had wrong canter lead and didnt realize.... For walk trot on PBT i got 72.73% or so and made 6th placing with that. Later on at jumping 30cm had Boots and he was really good, got clear on him. Jumped Crowe in the following 2 jumping courses. I seriously sucked at jumping w Crowe. I admit. Crowe is hard but all the refusals that I got were all my fault.... I didnt use enough outside leg.... so got eliminated at both jumping courses....After shower had a "bitch" n pillow fight w Steph, that made me happier again ;). In the evening watched without a paddle
Sunday:
Had novice 2.2 at 8am and was on Crowe again, that actually went rly well. I tied with Chiaki on Diamand. Got 5th placing with Crowe, not bad for a non dressage horse ;) In prelim 1.2 didnt get placed w boots either.... for power n speed at jumping got eliminated again w Crowe... again my fault... let him refuse once and then he though he could do it again so he crashed the jump... sigh stupid horse... bad rider..... sigh.. Jay said that I rode him very well though and that it wasnt about winning but that i jumped crowe so well etc.... I cud have kicked him in that moment (no offence).. I got eliminated at 3 jumpings w Crowe!! And he tells me that!! ARGH!!
Well in total my jumping sucked really badly at this competition... i could have won the jumpings w Crowe if I wud have been more prepared and used more outside leg. Dressage wasnt too bad considering Crowe is so not a dressage horse.. But seriously I am very pissed at my jumping, it sucked very bad!! Actually I am very pissd at myself for the whole results of this years competition... So need to work harder...
Oh yes Steph won the Power n Speed on Boots which I was happy for her :D
Going to stop blabbering now.... gettin all pissd again.. Competition sucked....
LoVe, Tanya
