Inspirational riding



So just got back from the Melbourne 3-Day event and, aside from the painfully-cold steel seats and average food, it was so motivational! I actually managed to pick-up some good ideas from the riders and it was nice to see a few of them obviously enjoying the competition with smiles on their faces as they took part in the show jumping and cross-country. My goal posts have now significantly moved from pre-novice EFA to 1* CCI - perhaps one day i'll be at Melbourne too and have the biggest smile in the competition.

Well, here's hoping... In the meantime, i'm going to need to step-up the training and have a little tete-a-tete with the horse....am sure he'd like to know about my plans for us. Or convinced of them more like. It's time to get a plan to action together for the next 5 years and to enter some competitions to get us started.
