Woodhill Sands SJ 31.05.09

Well today we headed off to Woodhill Sands SJ. I entered in the 80cm and 90 cm we were waiting for ages as there seemed to be a lot of green horses. I warmed up and even though Echo was felt really fast he felt really good going over the jumps. I went in for my round and he felt really zoomy :) I was counting out his strides for him as he can sometimes loose his rhythm, he went beautifully over the double.We got a clear round and went on for the jump off and he knew it was down to strategy and time. He grazed the first jump and I was silly and looked back at it and lost all concentration. I forgot the next jump and I am not very fit at the moment and I was very tired, so I decided to retire and give the 90cm a miss. I also need to learn to breath,give him his head,and put my hands forward so he can round himself and be more comfortable. But all in all I am not at all disappointed. He did exactly what I wanted him to do and the most important thing was that he both had fun :) Below is a video of my SJ round. Please feel free to criticise :)
