I had entered Pop for this originally, but as he wasn't quite right after Badminton I decided to take my Dad's horse Alfie instead. Alfie always finds the dressage phase hard as he is not ideally built for it, but his dressage has been improving. Unfortunately, I underestimated how long it would take us to get to Tweseldown and ended up not having as much time to warm up as I would like, which resulted in a rather tense and resistant test for my worst ever score of 47! We then went over to the show jumping arena to find a very full up course and saw lots of people having problems and many poles falling. Alfie tried really hard though, and just tapped a couple of poles to end up with 8 faults. Then finally off to the cross country, which is Alfie's favourite phase! He didn't jump fences 1 & 2 that fluently, but then flew over the imposing spread fence at 3 and went up a gear, taking everything else in his stride. Was particularly proud of him at the water where another horse had stopped and was standing just beside the fence, but Alfie ignored it and just kept jumping and we ended up clear within the time.
