On the 14th March I took Lilly along to Overa for the BSJA show jumping where we went into the British Novice and 1m Amateur Qualifier. Over the last 2 months I have been having lessons on Lilly to improve our jumping before the coming season and we have both improved so much!
In the British Novice we had an unlucky pole down at the last fence (Rider error)! but we went round the course in a perfect rhythm and I could feel the improvment in us both!
I then went in my second class, where we had another unlucky pole down but again she jumped round the course so well and I was so chuffed how we had both come on over such a short period of time!
On the 21st March, after a mad rush to find my membership card the morning off the show, I
was qualified to jump in the 95cms second rounds, In the first round Lilly jumped a fantastic clear over the big and demanding course and a very quick clear in the jump off clinched second place! Which was fantastic. The class was split between juniors and seniors and there was lots of people there competing so was a close line up!
I then entered into 105cms as a first round contender as i hadn't previous to this competion qualified in this class so I was jumping to qualify for this competition.. but next year! Once again Lilly produced a fantastic double clear with a very quick time to get another second in another big class!! Which will take us to the second rounds again!
All in all we had a very good day! We are next jumping on the 4th April at The Jays.
