Once again, Katey rode first. She did a great job on her freestyle! Then Jess, but I missed her ride, because I had to go warm up for Training 2....yeah. Aly bucked every time I asked for right lead canter ( back pain? No signs or it or lameness, so maybe just I-haven't-been-turned-out-for-five-days bucking, but who knows). We made it through our test with no bucks, but it was still pretty awful. The judge was scoring everybody pretty tough..anyway. Rebecca and Jess both reported good Training 2 tests, too. I got to watch Rebecca's freestyle- Pirates of the Carribean music! Her trot music was my favorite part :)
My freestyle warmup: Walk, free walk, trot each direction, canter left, canter 4 strides right without bucking, go back to walking.
My freestyle: Never thought I'd see the day I'd get an adrenaline rush out of dressage! Freestyle was definitely the highlight of the whole competition, and it just felt right (no bucking). I was so excited at the end!
No points off at turnbacks, safety checks or equipment kit checks, so we are good in HM. The Quiz kids got to catch some of our rides, and I hear they're doing really well!
