Well the dressage had the potential to be quite nice, but unfortunately I forgot to halt on the first centre line and had to re-start which made Jack very tense and upset for the rest of the test, we ended up with 42 which wasn't what I had aimed for!

However, the Show Jumping was much more successful and even though it was very big and Jack hadn't Show Jumped for weeks and I hadn't jumped him on grass since Hambleden, he flew round and didn't touch a pole. What a dudey horse he is! Unfortunately we had a minor miss-understanding over one of our lines to an upright and ground to a halt so picked up a very silly 4 faults and one time penalty. Very annoying as they cost us getting two points for a double clear!

I have to confess I wasn't all that worried about the cross country. After Glanusk it seemed quite tame and straight-forwards. Big in places, yes, but not too technical. In true Jack style he flew round and gave me a fantastic ride apart from the first water where he was very spooky and we clambered in and out over the boat in a very unorthodox style! I have also begun to trust him more and consequently we did a very speedy round just picking up 4.8 time faults. Unfortunately because it was a hotly contested OI section we finished right down the order, but in most other Intermediate section we would have been placed. 
We now head to the CIC** at Gatcombe, and if the ground isn't too hard the CIC** at South of England as well.
