One event I love in the eventing calender is Gatcombe. The lovely park setting and natural terrain make the xc second to none. The atmosphere is amazing and I was really looking forward to getting Henry out on the xc.
Henry produced a nice dressage test with little tension which left us midway down the field of top class combinations on 39.5, he felt really good and i was pleased with the test - although i could have ridden it a little more accurately.
The sj arena is set on a slight natural slope but the course was nicely built and inviting. An unfortunate pole set us up to go xc on 43.5
Henry was eager to get on the course and i was really looking forward to going xc with him as it had been some time since he had run. He set out of the start box like a rocket and stormed round clear with a few time penalties leavig us very competitively placed in 6th.
