BSJA Discovery

After Sundays Mini Hunter Trials I was shattered so getting up at 3am to take Jen to Cardiff airport I could’ve done without. By the time we left drove there and back, I got to bed at 4.45am only to get up at 8am to go with Amelia to Wales and the West showground for her to jump Destiny in the Discovery and the 1.05metre. Amelia walked the course for the Discovery which consisted of fences 1 – 8 and then straight into the jump off fences 9 to 14. By this time the weather had turned cold and windy and picking with rain. Destiny jumped well and went clear with a good time that put her into the lead but Amelia realised that she had missed a fence out although no one else had not even the judges. Amelia decided that in the interest of fair play she would not want to win a class she had not won properly and promptly informed the judges. Having paid £37 entries it was good to watch £50 winnings disappear and the 1.05m was not so sucessful the ground was becoming slippy and destiny did slip at one point and took two fences down in the jump off. We arrives home around 2.30pm and the horses at home had not had any food since first thing but as we intended to turn them out today after the winter months this was a good thing as they were more intent on eating the grass than racing around.
