Well I DID say tall!!
But the main news is at our second competition last week at Hickstead - jumping up a level to medium tests - Pip was once again the perfect gentleman and, like the pro he is proving to be, gave two more promising performances - we came second in both tests. But for some silly rider (me!) errors - which I will put down to lack of practice to save my blushes - he would have definitely won the medium 71! Still we couldn't have been more pleased as Pip is showing us how relaxed he is in a competition situation which only goes to boost my confidence in him more and more. I am waiting for Andrew to return from the States and look forward to his view on how we have been progressing since he last saw us - meanwhile Miranda has been keeping us - well me mainly - on the straight and narrow in our training and improvements are being made with each session. Also I have started to work on some music ideas for Pip - there is no way Brodie's music suits his paces although I am trying to fit in my "theme tune" - Walking on Sunshine... work in progress at the moment but with Hartpury looming I am keen to make a start on our freestyle program!
