WHAT AN AMAZING DAY!!!! I really cant write to much because it is very late and i have a super early start tomorrow but today was absolutely incredible.
Best cross country we have ever ridden, and even though it was the longest Merry felt incredible the whole way through, we even came in early at 7:34 and his temperature was only 101.3! he is now in the running to win the prize for fittest horse actually because of his great feats!
This is why we do this sport, at the end of the day its not about the dressage or stadium its about the cross. Its why we love it so much, us adrenaline junkies and i am so so so happy that we went double clear.
I moved up to 13th, less than 10 points from 1st place, and only 4 points from 7th place.
Merry looks and feels amazing this evening, so fingers crossed for the jog and stadium tomorrow, but at this point i couldnt be more proud of him. Hes earned every carrot and apple he received today and trust me there was a lot.
It was a hard course and we made it!!!
DONT FORGET TO CROSS YOUR FINGERS FOR US TOMORROW MORNING!!!!
