This educational tool was developed over the course of two years and is loaded with materials and resources targeted for all levels of eventing professionals, instructors, and coaches. The big question in my mind at this event was: What kind of horse will be coming out of that start box? And, oh boy, did she come out of that start box! We had a nice warm up with minimal attitude, as Meika coached us on her own king-of-the-comeback, Cochlear.
As we drew near the start box, Cairo saw a horse fly by on the course, and she knew what was up. She jigged, she danced, and she tossed in a couple twerks. We approached the start box proper, and Cairo was feeling her fine self. The starters kept their distance and made sure I knew I could trot around.
I was torn between wondering if I could even get Cairo in the box or, if once I got her in, could I hold her back? Five: I nudged her in and got my stirrup back. I faced Cairo away from the first fence for the end of the coundtown. Cairo was on it. She drew a bead on the first fence and dug in. There was a road crossing between fences 3 and 4, and that was about the time I began to think maybe Cairo was already ready for bigger fences. I asked Cairo to come back a little to cross the road, and she tossed her head and tried to tell me she was in charge.
Given Ally said horses can trip due to the footing change, I settled her a little. Cairo then took the bit after the road crossing and launched gleefully over the table at fence 4. Fence 5 had cut-outs in the face and was around a corner, so if Cairo was going to be suspicious, that was where it would happen.
Nope, she was game on. In the end, my whoas were successful: The speed fault time was , and we cruised in comfortably at Cairo danced her way into the arena and was game on again when the judge blew the whistle. Meika, who does know us, deemed the round smooth and one of our best.
Double clear cross-country, double clear stadium. We finished on our dressage score. Mind you, that score was a Are we ready to move to training? The novice fences felt so small that I would have thought they were set wrong, except that I watched them get measured.
