Hasn't gone as we wished

In the video below you can follow our latest competition and how our season has been so far. 

Didn't get much of our results in the video. But in dressage we got 70%. I was happy with this as the ride felt stable. Of course we could have done some things a little better but was still happy. So our 70% is then converted into 30 penalty points (the penalty point is the number of % you have left up to 100%, e.g. 60% is 40 penalty points).

In jumping we got one down. We have otherwise had many clear rounds over the season and thought we should have solved it this time too. So now we had 34 penalty points (for a rail down or a refusal in jumping you get 4 penalty points).

The cross really went as well as I could have hoped. Zin Fire is much braver and it is so nice that the training has worked so well. It went a little fast but in this class (CCN2*-S) you don't get penalty points even if you happen to ride a little fast. So we were clear on obstacles and time. With that we finished with 34 penalty points which gave us a 5th place. 

But the place wasn't the important thing this time. It was that my and Zin Fire's collaboration works and that I have a happy horse at the end of the day.
