Quirindi Event

So after a few weeks at the Tinney's place Crafty has settled in nicely. He is out in a huge paddock with another horse and is learning to fit in with the routine. Leading into his first event we attended a couple of Show Jumping Days which were really good practice. He is stepping up into the 1.05m classes with no problems at all and is not concerned about the fill. I have also had some lessons with Stuart and he is improving every week.  On the 19th May we packed up and caught a lift in the Tinney Truck to Qurindi, a six hour drive North. It was a great experience for him having to go along with all the other horses and a very enjoyable weekend despite the freezing cold nights where even the water buckets had a layer on ice on them in the morning! Crafty was entered in his first pre novice and did a really Super job! His dressage was very nice, he has a great presence in the ring even though he is green. He scored 51penalties and was in the top few placing's. He also did a nice SJ round and a beautiful clear XC. We did a steady round and had some time penalties, my priority is for him to stay confident and have time to develop his jump, we can make time up in the future ! Over all he ended up 6th which was very exciting :)  Next event is Camden!
