I had Billy Bounce and Mo Cuiske in the Open Intermediate, Virage Des Falaises in the Intermediate Novice, Snow Wind SN in the BE100 and The Last Euro and Drewmain Firefly in the BE90.

Billy Bounce did some lovely work in his test, but made a couple of silly mistakes when we weren't quite on the same wave length. He scored a competitive 25.9.

He then jumped a super clear in the show jumping.

He then flew round the cross country giving me a great ride to pick up just 1.2 time faults and finish in 5th place.

Mo Cuiske also did a great test to score 26.1.

He then jumped a great clear in the show jumping having managed to pull his shoe off in the warm up!
Watch our round here:

With his shoe back on he flew round the cross country over the first six fences, but unfortunately managed to pull the same shoe off again over fence six, it went hurtling ahead of us and left me with only one option but to pull him up. The ground was on the firm side and as it was so early on round the track I didn't want to risk him breaking his foot up any further and making himself sore.

Virage Des Falaises was on great form again, he did a super test to lead his section on a 25.9.
Watch our test here:

He then jumped an immaculate clear round the show jumping.
Watch our round here:

He stormed round the cross country effortlessly and finished inside the time on his dressage score to win the section.
Watch our round here:

Snow Wind SN did a great test to score 26.3.

She then jumped very well round what was a very technical BE100 track and was very unlucky to have the last fence down when we made a little too much ground up down a distance.
Watch our round here:

She then gave me a lovely ride round the cross country to finish inside the time and in 5th place.
Watch our round here:

The Last Euro did another super test and is getting better and better in this phase, he scored a leading mark of 25.5. 

Watch our test here:

He then jumped very well round a technical track. 

Watch our round here:

He was great round the cross country which was a step up from mount ballan. He finished inside the time and would have won if I hadn't have had to have ridden HC. 

Watch our round here:

Drewmain Firefly did a lovely test that was an improvement on his first outing as he was getting more relaxed and confident in the arena. 

He then jumped a lovely clear in the show jumping. 

Watch our round here:

He flew round the cross country and felt really happy and as though he had come on a lot from his first run. He would have finished in 2nd place if I hadn't of had run ride HC.
