Georgie Spence’s Express Eventing blog: Wii Limbo at Blenheim
This blog is brought to you in association with Georgie’s sponsor Tottie clothing
My Express Eventing ride Wii Limbo (‘Woody’) was fantastic at the Fidelity Blenheim Palace International Horse Trials last week, where he contested the eight- and nine-year-old CIC***.
Generally his dressage test was good, he just made a couple of mistakes and was green in places. He showjumped well — it was unlike him he had a few fences down, but it was a huge track and caused a lot of problems, so I was pleased with how he coped with the atmosphere. He went on to jump a great clear cross-country. We took all the straight routes and I couldn’t have been more pleased with him.
I hope that Blenheim will have helped Woody grow up a little, as I think the atmosphere at Horse of the Year Show will be on a whole different level.
After Blenheim, Woody had three days off and I plan to video my Express Eventing dressage test today to start putting the music to it. He’ll then have a few more days off, and next week, I will work on perfecting it. The floorplan is finished, but I haven’t got anything concrete on the music yet.
Hopefully towards the end of next week I’ll have the music finished and I’ll also give Woody a jump, so I’ll let you know how we are getting on then.
