Area 6 Dressage Qualifiers at BCA

We had an eventful day at the Area 6 Dressage Qualifiers at BCA today. After acquitting himself so well at the Intro Dressage National Champs, Nichola Peace decided it was time for Rory to step up to his first BRC Prelim tests. There were only 4 entries in each of the BRC Prelim 1 and 2 classes, so hopes were high of a good placing.

Unfortunately, despite Rory’s best efforts, 2 pilot errors (including attempting the final centre line from the wrong end 🙈) dropped the pair from 1st to 3rd place. We opted not to rely on Nichola’s memory for Prelim 2 and kept a clean sheet, taking 2nd place with 66.20% (less than half a percent off 1st place). So it was smiles all round to finish the day and a big pat for Rory! 😊
