Started the morning turning the yard horses out to have them go through the fencing. Then Pait decided to push me off the top of the ramp and I managed to hit mum (who was driving) on the way down. Got to the show and met a hungover sister who was cursing me.
Em took Rory inhand whilst I took Pait both behaved though Rory found it exciting due to it being his first showing show this year. Well Rory only placed 2nd! Beating Pait who came 3rd.
At this point Em went back to the yard whilst I did workers with Rory. He did a lovely clear round but a bit of a lack-luster show so came 2nd. Took him back to the wagon and decided to swop him and Pait for the ridden M&M as he felt tired so I untacked him. Got him untacked and relaxed and then got shouted I was wanted to do the workers championship so hastily threw tack back on.
This is were the lesson comes in always triple check the girth incase the pony held his breath! In gallop my saddle went and I went with it managing to land on my shoulder. So an A&E trip with xrays later Im in a sling with sprained ligaments but I did take the ponies back to the yard first.
