Janice Pegler is out and about and in the placings!

Well it's been ages since I wrote a blog, mainly because we haven't been doing alot!

Serenity injured her hind extensor tendon last July at Cheltenham, it was only a bad bruise but took a while to get back to normal so we ended up missing out on the rest of last season, and due to finance and personal circumstances we haven't got going this season until now!

I took her cross-country schooling at Boomerang the week before last and she was very good, like she had never had a break, so we went off to Ascott Under Wychwood this weekend to do the BE 90. The weather held off for us but it was muggy, we warmed up for the dressage and she was going nicely, we went in and halfway through I had a big grin on my face. She was really good and did everything when asked and it just felt great, this was reflected in the score of 29.5!!!!

Off to showjumping, the warm up was rock hard so didn't do too much but she was pinging so we went in and jumped a lovely clear!

On to the cross-country and she was very excited - in fact so excited that the starter thought he may have to lead me in! She was leaping off the floor and generally being a pain but we finally got her into the box and off we went! All I can say is it was like she had never had a break. She was awesome and made it feel really easy. We ended with 4.8 time pens so was really pleased as I didn't push her and we finished in 7th place!

So all in all a great day out and I couldn't have asked for more for her first time in 11 months! The plan now is to do the BE90 at Stonar then go back up to BE100 after that.
