Our second time visiting High Cross, last time we were here was 20/04/2014, for the 2014 Trailblazers 2nd Round. A lovely spring day today – and we even got a surprise visit from Mr Cook!
I decided to enter only the Qualifier test for today, as I had no caller and didn’t want to end up with a hybrid test by going wrong and mashing up two tests together!


I was very pleased with the test, we had a dodgy first canter transition (to the right) with a buck thrown in for good measure, but overall she was very rideable – I’ve been working on her accepting my leg more so that I’m riding her less from my hand; she felt lighter and more attentive so I was pleased. A mistake into halt meant that she stepped back – so we were penalised with a 5.5 for this.

It was tight at the top of the leader board with the top 4 on 66% – we were a smidgen behind the leader – happily this means we have qualified for the Trailblazers National Championships again this year! Roll on July……
