After a few shaky rounds at Winnie’s first jumping competitions, I was determined to prove to myself that a bad ride does not mean I’m a bad rider. My last showjumping lesson was a real turning point, and I knew I had to put everything into practice in a competition setting—so off we went to Dallas Burston Polo Club for some arena eventing!
This was the perfect event to test myself, with show jumps followed by cross-country fences, all in a huge arena that encouraged me to ride more forward (and not pull like a gremlin before every fence 👀). And guess what? It worked!! I actually rode forward, made the distances, and even got time faults for going too fast?! Unheard of on this channel 😂
This was my last UK outing before heading off to Africa again (get excited for those vlogs 👀), and it has made me so ready to get back and hit the ground running for the 2025 event season with Winnie. Hope you enjoy watching this redemption round as much as I enjoyed riding it!
📍 COMPETITION: Dallas Burston Polo Club
🐴 HORSE: Winnie
🎯 GOAL: Ride positively, keep the flow, and trust my training!
