Licences #1

With Louis aiming to compete in the dressage category of the All-Japan Championships next year, he needed to get a licence to confirm his ability to make a reasonable challenge. Today he got his third level test ('3-kyu') out of the way with 'Jaguar', meaning he's ready to roll, as the three paper tests lined up for him were done and cleared a couple of days ago.

Five minutes later, and while Sophie was letting Jaguar wind down with a gentle stroll around the outside track, Louis was securing his third level jumping test with 'Heart' as his partner. This involved clearing a number of fences safely, with the height set at 80cm. Tomorrow, he'll team up with 'Ukon' to get his '2-kyu' licence, taking him up into the 110cm class. He's then ready to tackle whatever show-jumping events he wants to...
