Reasons To Be Cheerful

Day One of the tournament at Tomisato over and done with, and plenty of reasons to be cheerful. Louis was well down the field in the kosher L1 category, but he was competing in a tough group full of professional-level riders with 'Bugatti' in his first ever L1 outing (we skipped A3). As such, both he and his mount can be proud of the 53.75 result, and I'm sure he'll climb up the league table tomorrow when he tries the L1 Trial Class as an experiment. As for Sophie, she had a great day, coming second and very close to victory in the her Class (Dressage Test B) in amongst the adults - 56.83 is a great achievement, and definitely something for her and 'Bugatti' to build on...
