Only 6 weeks till Hartpury... the 2 para competitions last weekend gave me food for thought - I cannot fault Pip who - in gale force winds at Hickstead on Monday - that would have seen Brodie carting me to Brighton - was on fine form and filled me with another dose of confidence with his temperament - suitably matched of course by his ability! But several comments by the judge made me re-assess our aims in the short term. It was a shame that with two days of para competitions comprising four tests - we had the same judge for them all. Judging is always going to be subjective but I had hoped to gain some constructive feedback from more than one person with the effort and expense of 4 texts over 2 days. Something for the organisers to consider maybe? Anyway we continue to plan, train and work towards Hartpury - the entries are in and I (with a little help from my friends) am trying to put together a freestyle program. Listening to Brodie's music leaves me a little dejected - his music worked so well from start to finish - maybe it is just that I am so familiar with it but we will patch something together - the individual pieces of music work well so hopefully it will all come together - like a jigsaw. Many more hours needed on the computer me thinks!! But for a little light relief - a comp at Pachesham on Sunday to rebuild a few low morale bridges and - to have some fun - that is after all what the game is all about after all - isn't it!!??!!
