ODE

today i had a horse competition, a One Day Event. its in a neighboring town about 45 minutes away. i wasn't very happy because my dressage test was scheduled for 8:00 am in the morning so i had to leave home at 6:45 am....an early morning for sure.So i caught my horse but he just didnt wanna go on the float- i was sooo frustrayted!
so when i evetually got him on i was running really late it was like 7:20 or somehting we were in such as rush. really bad to be considering we wear twoing the float and there were plnety of kangaroos aroung, plus being a SUnday the trucks hadnt hit any so they were everywhere (that sounds kinda bad but kangaroos just jump into you they are so silly :D).
so i got to the event with no time to spare and i got tacked up but something was wrong with my bridle that took me like 5 minutes to fix. then once you saddle up you have to go to gear check where all your tack needs to be passed to make sure its all safe. the woman there was being so slow and i was trying to explain that i was LATE and she just kept pottering along grrrrr!
so i raced over to the dressage arena to explain to the judge that i was late and that someone else could go in front of me. she just goes "no you're late that your fault and you'll just have to ride" in a really snappy voice" which is totally wrong because the rules are if you ask the judge ad organize another rider to take your place your are allowed extra warm-up time, i like at lest 20 minutes warm up to get Prince settled.
So i raced to the entrance ( i also didn't have a whip coz i must have left if behind which was really frustrating). so i rode in and did my test but i forgot which way to go and stiffed up a but of it. i was so upset. im by no means a sooky person but i couldn't help crying a bit i was sooo frustrated with my self, Prince and the stupid judge. i just knew i was gonna get a bad score because if you get a bad dressage score you always get a bad placing for the rest of the day no matter what your showjumping and cross country is like.
so i grumbled a bit.
i ended up doing well in my showjumping and cross country getting clear round in both and it turned out that my dressage result wasn't bad because i had done most of it really well and that kind of canceled out the bad bits.
so i got 3rd overall with a mega cool ribbon and stuff and so i was pretty pleased.
im now going to have a nice warm bath, have tea, and watch the Eurovision Song Contest and an early night tonight!
