There's something about Mendip plains that doesn't agree with me as I also got supposedly 'eliminated' there last year for wearing boots in my dressage test, my heart broke and I cried a fair bit (embarrassing looking back now) only for one of the organisers to clarify I wasn't eliminated, just penalised! We then went on to win our sections she it was a right rollercoaster of a day - anyway this year, she was still a rollercoaster of emotions but for completely different reasons! I am super embarrassed to have fallen when I really shouldn't have but also we very very nearly completed the showjumping and I don't think we'd have completed the x country if even started due to the conditions so in hindsight if there was any day I wasn't going to be allowed to go out on the x country course I'm glad it was this one and hopefully this doesn't happen again! Ever humbled by these horses & the sport that is eventing but wouldn't change it for the world and can't wait for the next one!
As always - thank you so much for watching x
