2 x 2

Well, 'Jaguar' certainly lived up to his reputation for being awkward this last couple of days, with a lack of enthusiasm yesterday followed by too much joie de vivre today. In reality, the 53.69 score was better than the 53.04 chalked up on Saturday, but it's such a shame to see all that hard work go unrewarded. On saying that, of course, this was Louis' first attempt at the A3 dressage category, and I'm told one should be happy with anything over 50 for a starting point. Tomorrow, let's see if he can add at least one blue ribbon to the two red ones he picked up today, although, being realistic, it will be a tough fight for him and 'Heart' in the 60cm and 80cm classes. Sophie takes out 'the difficult horse' in the gymkhana event, too, so please wish her and 'Jaguar' luck also...
