Zazu's first Prelim write up βοΈ
It did not go to plan .......π€£
As his second time out competing I'm still learning how he reacts to everything.
Safe to say I really don't need long to warm up yet,so a mistake from me for over cooking him and giving him too long. Plus the time's running a little behind didn't help but that's out of my control.
By the time we got to our test he was a bit fried π₯΄
Unfortunately he just decided he'd had enough and had run out of juice!
The trot work was good but canter was rather.......interesting π He's such a big boy and gets tired easily.
Lot's of positives to take away from today though so overall I'm super pleased. Today did what it needed too and I'm sure there will be many other 'Learning' day's to come!
A little video of the warm up and before the test as no-one needs to relive the actual test π
